Preparation for Learner Led Conferences

Over the next 2 days, the learners will be taking part in a very important meeting - the Learner Led Conferences! During these conferences, the learners will be bringing their parents to a meeting with their Whanau Learning Coach. Using their Learning Pathways as a visual prompt, the learners are going to share some of the learning they have taken part in during iDevelop, iExperience and iExplore.

If the Learning Coaches are honest, it has been a little challenging to get the learners to take responsibility for getting their Learning Pathways ready. However, over the last few weeks, several learners have managed their time more effectively and have created some sensational reflections about their work during Term 1 and Term 2. We can't wait to take part in the conferences and hear what they have to say!

The last step was preparing the learners for the actual meeting. The Learning Coaches modelled how the learners are expected to introduce their parents to the Learning Coach, and vice versa, and what it should look like when the learners are discussing the work on their pathway. Below, you can see the learners were asked to practise how the LLC should go amoung their Kagan groups. One learner shared their work and the other 3 learners acted as Learner Coaches to feedback on what went well and how their meeting could be even better if.

We look forward to seeing all the learners and their wonderful parents in the Learner Led Conferences. Let's see how passionately the learners share their work at OrmPS!
