Three way conferencing is a celebration of learning. It allows students to talk about their strengths, areas for improvement and goals in subject areas and learning skills. It also provides positive feedback for student successes. It is a vehicle for explicit teaching and modelling of active listening skills and it caters to and supports the range of abilities within a classroom.
What is a Three-Way Conference?
A three-way conference allows students to take the lead as they provide the teacher and their parents with examples of their academic progress. It encourages students to take responsibility for their learning and to share their work. Research shows that student achievement increases when parents, students and teachers work as a team. A three-way conference is an opportunity for parents, students and teachers to engage in conversations about students' learning at home and at school.
