Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
Research shows that family involvement is the best predictor of student success. With Seesaw, conferences are opportunities to build deep partnerships and engage families as co-owners of student outcomes. They are also an important time for students to reflect on and share their learning and growth. Teacher Tips: Create a Conferences folder. Before students complete this reflection activity, have them look through their journal and add work to the Conferences folder. Decide how many and what type of posts to add. Students can add work that shows growth, strengths, or areas for improvement. You can add work as well. At conferences, use each student's Conference folder to guide the discussion.
