Reporting to parents

Throughout my years of teaching I have been involved with reporting to parents.
This can be done both formally and informally.
I have found the best method in reporting to parents are with the use of student lead conferences and using portfolios or e-portfolios. As they are student lead parents don't seen to feel as daunted. It also provides an environment where parents, caregivers and teachers can strengthen relationships and enhances the use of student voice.
Teacher lead parent interview can be daunting for a lot of parents. Especially those parent who have not had a positive experience with school.
The written report is important in sharing concrete evidence to parents and sharing next steps. These are often supported by parent teacher interviews to discuss next steps.
Below is an example of one of my written reports. Please note that the name has been changed.
