Share your opinion on “Learning Conversation Day”

Secondary students took part in the third annual Learning Conversation Day on Wednesday, 25th January. These sessions have a variety of benefits, such as:

• Encouraging self-reflection and objective setting for students, which can be highly motivating and empowering for young people to gain a sense of control 
• We always ask students to consider what they are proud of and share this with parents to celebrate progress. With the support of parents and tutors, this is positive for self-esteem and confidence in learning.
• The authentic opportunity to practise presenting to adults and lead a conversation is very valuable.

Some initial feedback from parents is shown below:

Question: The most positive or useful part of the Learning Conversation Day was…..

“To have a feeling about how my son addresses teachers regarding his biggest challenges he has been having during the year or his plans for the near future. For instance, the ambition to improve grades.”

“To witness my daughter explaining the challenges she faced and is facing, and the near future plans to overcome them. It was delightful to see how she already understands the meaning of time management and several types of objectives. She recognizes how hard it is to practise sport so frequently and still find time to study and socialise with so many friends.”

“Getting to know how one's child feels in school and is getting along. Seeing the support of tutors and their importance of being around for the students.”

“I loved feeling part of the children’s programme, and I loved the three-way interaction.”
