On Tuesday 22nd March, all of Elementary will be holding their yearly Student-Led Conferences. This is your child’s opportunity to lead you through their learning journey up until now. The students will be going through their learning experiences with you to model, explain, and share what they have been learning and exploring throughout this year. This experience is your child’s day and it is not meant for parent-teacher interviews or conferences. Showing their learning journey can be done in their home language and gives students opportunities to show their evidence of learning through things like classroom activities and their portfolio. It should also involve bringing you to their different learning spaces around the school, like the gym, music rooms, EAL class, Arabic class, etc. More information was put in the Thursday Newsletter, including how and when to sign up (which will be open on Tuesday 8th March from https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/GEMS_World_Academy_Dubai_Elementary). Finally, it’s important to note, that during this day, students will only be at school for their conference and learning tour, after which they will return back home. Students are also expected to wear their school uniform and any or all family members are invited to share in their conference.
