LWIS Istanbul Three-way Conferences Essential Agreements
What is Three-way Conference?
Why do we have Three-way Conferences?
As a learning community that believes in creating pathways for learners to become ‘self-regulated’, the three-way conference is an opportunity that values learners’ strengths and empowers them to be self-directed towards improvement and growth.
Who do the Three-way Conferences involve?
The child, as the center of the learning process; the teacher, the child’s parent(s), and a specialist teacher or language teacher where appropriate.
How do Three-way Conferences take place?
Each child will have a 10-minute time frame to discuss their areas of strengths and growth and to set a goal. Parents will book an online appointment for the meeting to take place on Teams.
What is the role of the Student, Teacher and Parent?
What do Conferences look like for early learners (EL1, EL2 & EL3)?
The conferences for our Early Learners will be different, using different language. For areas of strengths, we use the term ‘stars’ and for areas of growth, we use the term ‘a wish’; hence the conference will be called “Two Stars and a Wish”.
The homeroom teacher will allocate times for parents to join their child’s “Two Stars and a Wish” conference. Children can use their mother tongue during the conference. Early Learners will select various learning experiences to discuss and share with the parents.
