[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So for parent engagement they are showing parents how the rest of the class is doing? [/quote]

It's kind of [b]a group parent conference [/b]where they talk about what is grade level expectation.  You get an activity to take home and do with your child.  There are some on the Flamboyan website that you can watch.

Personally I find it super awkward because our school is gentrifying and there is a big achievement gap, and it makes parents concerned that so many kids are far behind.  I have to do an individual conference separately because of my DD's quirks.  I really think there is a loss of privacy and losing the individual conferences is not a good idea.  It seems to be intended for schools that are all low-income, does not mesh well with gentrifying communities.[/quote]

Wow. My kid is in MCPS and I don't visit this forum often, but this seems so weird. At MCPS ES level, parent-teacher conferences are strictly one-on-one, and I have no official information where my third-grader stands in her class. For us, the unofficial 'measures' are MAP scores (she's share how she got this score, and her friends got those scores), and math/reading levels (the highest, the second highest, etc), but I wouldn't dream of directly asking the teacher who scored the highest and the lowers in MAP-R.

When I was a kid, grades and scores were out in the open, but those were different times.[/quote]
