Hi All
Amongst other groups, OECD research clearly shows that one of the highest indicators of success in adult life for young people is self-efficacy. This plays out in education, work and the ups and downs of a modern day life.
Self-efficacy supports us as learners when things get tricky. A learner with a strong sense of self efficacy knows where their strengths are, knows where their areas to develop are and has the knowledge that learning is incremental. These are the people in the workplace that you see set career goals and seek out the knowledge, skills and understandings to get there. They are resilient, persistent and know that growth comes in smaller steps.
Developing self-efficacy in learners is a critical piece of our work in developing learners who can set goals, acknowledge their growth and seek their next step in learning.
At CPS one of the opportunities for students to develop their self-efficacy is Learning Conversations where students are an important partner.
Thank you for booking into 3 Way Learning Conversations. Learning Conversations are an opportunity to hear from your child about their individual learning progress. Part of each student’s learning journey is to understand and articulate learning successes and needs. Your participation in this is critical.
Open communication between teachers and parents is encouraged. If there are concerns you wish to discuss about your child’s learning, not in the presence of your child, please arrange time to discuss these outside of the Learning Conversations. Learning Conversations are an opportunity for your child to highlight progress from their point of view.
We look forward to seeing you next week.
Regards
Garry
