Key Concepts

Two purposes of Conferences Page 363

  1. Summative - share information about learning that occurred
  2. Formative - Give or receive feedback to help formulate goals and create indiviudalized plans for students

Five conference options – Page 364

  1. feedback – strengths and areas for improvement
  2. goals setting – long & short term goals
  3. intervention – area of concern
  4. demonstrations of growth – improving learning target/growth over time
  5. communicating achievement – level of achievement
