Student Goal Setting

As beginning of year assessments and progress reports have been completed, it is now time for teachers to work with students to set some goals for themselves to work on over the course of the year. These goals will be shared with parents during the Parent Teacher Interviews next week. Students will also have time to reflect on the progress of their goals later in the year and share these at the Student Led Conferences.

Student goals can be an academic goal relating to any subject area as well as goal that reflects the Helping Hands positive learning values. For example, they might want to work on being a more respectful learner. They then can discuss with the teacher ways they can work on this.

Please see our guidelines below:

Setting goals with students

• Teachers and students work together to set goals between October 12-20. Students in lower Primary may need assistance selecting goals, while upper Primary should be able to do this on their own.
• Students will be asked to set academic goal(s) from any subject area and a separate goal for ‘Helping Hands’.
• Goals are shared at Parent-Teacher Interviews Oct. 21 (RP) & Oct. 22 (CP).
• Year 1: No goals for Semester 1. These will be set in Semester 2A.
• Year 2-3: 2 goals  (1 academic goal & 1 Helping Hands goal).
• Year 4-6: 3 goals (2 academic goal & 1 Helping Hands goal).

 

Attached are the updated SLC Goals Sheet for Y1-3 and Y4-6.

Once these goals have been shared with parents, they can be placed into individual Student Portfolios. Year Level Leaders, please put on your agenda within the next couple of weeks to discuss and share ways in which teachers can assist students to keep track of their goals and ensure that they are not put away and forgotten about. It would be great to share some successful ideas.

Any questions please see your Year Level leader or the Coordinators.

Good Morning!
I want to share some reminders with you for SLCs.

Attached is the SLC Timeline
SLC Logistics – RP 2014-15
SLC Logistics – CP 2014-15

• The office has already emailed all teachers the SLC schedule and Transportation list. It is very important that you contact all the parents who have not yet signed up. Even if a parent is not able to attend the conference, the office still needs to confirm how the student is getting home.

• Progress reports: A reminder for those student who have enrolled between Weeks 18-25, must be given a progress report. RP teachers to please pass these reports to Melissa by April 8^th (Week 29).

• Student goals: Please ensure that students have revised their goals and recorded the progress that they have made.

Any questions, please send an email or come and see Andrew or myself.

Thank you!
