A student is released from the first phase of LAP into a second phase. This bag contains books to be read at home. Return to the Top Student Led Conferencing Imagine students sitting down with their parents and sharing a portfolio of their work. That's what is happening in Lowder's classrooms from Kindergarten to fifth grade. Near the end of each grading period the students and the teacher select eight to twelve pieces to share with their parents.
Parents come in and the child goes over the work with their parents.
The teacher is there to answer any questions and to make comments as needed. The portfolio gives parents an opportunity to hear and see what the child is learning. The child has an opportunity to show how much they have learned. This process is another step in quality education as it empowers children by putting them in charge of their own learning. Return to the Top Physical Education S. Ray Lowder Physical Education department stresses the importance of physical well being as well as providing opportunities for team sports.
