近日，华美外国语学校小学部根据不同学段的学情特点，为1—6年级的家长分别召开了期中家长会。有别于传统“老师讲、家长听”的家长会模式，本次家长会借助IB-PYP工作坊的形式，新颖别致，让家长们感受到IB—PYP课堂的互动、交流、合作、分享学习模式，取得了良好的效果。

Recently, the primary department held six parents' meetings.Different from the traditional meetings "All about teachers’ talk but parents listen".This PYP workshop is novel and unique, and has achieved good results.

为了提高家长会的实效性和针对性，小学部精心筹备。首先，通过问卷星做了“前期评价”，问题为“本学期您孩子的进步”“您最想了解孩子的哪一方面”“您对学校的建议”。其次，对期中学业水平阳光评价做了详尽的质量分析，对孩子们进行了表彰。再次，举行了美术作品展，并展示出孩子们的各科作业。

In order to improve the effectiveness of the conference,all the staff carefully prepared.First of all, we made a preliminary evaluation through the questionnaire . For example,the most mentioned topic is "what is the most progress of your child in the semester", "which aspect do you want to know about your child most" and "your suggestions for the school".Secondly, teachers made a detailed quality analysis on the mid-term academic level and gives commendation to the children individually .At the same time, an art exhibition was held to show our students’ various talent, and also the children's homework was checked by parents.

会议一共有两个活动，首先是家长PYP工作坊，随后是家长共同探讨最为关心的话题——“教育中的评估”。活动中，头脑风暴、热烈讨论、作品展示、互动交流贯穿活动始终，家长们自然而然地发现了“教育中的评估”应该全面地、发展地、细致地观察每个孩子的内在。工作坊主持人罗娟主任表示：“评估其实就是陪伴学习者”。同时，工作室主持人周亚南校长助理总结道，只有陪伴，才能对学习做出评估;只有陪伴，才能“看见”学生。

First, the parent PYP workshop explained what is the "Assessment in education". Then all the participants proceeded a brainstorm which led to a heated discussion and interactive communication.Accordingly parents realised that "evaluation in education" should be a comprehensive, developmental, and detailed observation for each child.

接下来是家长和各科教师面对面的交流环节，同样是家长们为会议的主导，家长们提出各自最为关心的问题，各科教师针对每个孩子个性化答疑。

The next step is the face-to-face communication between parents and teachers of different subjects. Parents also took the lead in the meeting. They put forward their most concerned questions, the related teachers analysed personalized questions for each family.

陈校长、王顾问和李总监亲临家长会现场，为家长解答有关学校发展层面的疑惑。

Principal Jackie Chen, Counsellor Wang and Director Li joined the meeting to answer parents' questions about the development of the school.

家长会后，通过问卷星进行满意度调查，并对活动复盘。

After the parents' meeting, a satisfaction survey was conducted through the questionnaire , and all the staff made a review and summary about this event.

会议，会而议之，家长是家长会的主体，由家长朋友们讨论，形成决议，才能真正发挥家长的作用，家校携手，共同前行。

All in all, parents should be the main roles of the meeting. The topics should be raised by all the parents then discussed in order to form the final solutions. Only in this way, we can joint the power from both sides. Let’s create a bright future for our children !
