[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Exactly- they do this effectively. I haven’t heard of many DC charters doing it well and consistently. In some larger schools there are even group (meaning multiple family) parent/guardian-teacher conferences due to time constraints. I appreciate that Sela is able to spend time with each family and meet student needs. [/quote]

The group conferences we have had have been great. An hour or more to dig into data and understand [b]how our kid is doing relative to the whole class[/b] and how we can support her. Much more effective than shorter individual conferences. [/quote]

That part of the discussion would last 45 seconds with me. I don't care how other kids are doing relative to my kid. There is not universe where I'm comforted that my kid is not on grade level, but better than some kids who are even worse off. It is the same reason most parents don't look at data for entire schools, they look at data for demographic that match their own. [/quote]
