Notes from Parent/Teacher Conference with Jackson’s Mother

-Mrs. Cooper (Jackson’s homeroom and Science/SS teacher) said

that Jackson has been doing better since coming to school on a
hybrid schedule (instead of all virtual)
She said Jackson is very pleasant and still needs many reminders in
person, but usually an aid is in the room to assist.
-Ms. Work expressed her concern about test scores in Mrs.
Cooper’s class specifically. Mrs. Cooper agreed and said that even
though Jackson is pulled into a small group/individual setting for
testing, he tends to answer questions quickly without putting
much thought into it.
-Mrs. Shannon (my cooperating teacher) also echoed Mrs.
Cooper’s observations in her classroom. I also informed Mrs. Work
that this was the case even during assignments we would
complete together in class. I said that, for example, we work
through a page in out math packet and Jackson is already on the
next page. Mrs. Shannon then said she is beginning to encourage
Jackson to read test questions aloud to the aid to ensure he is at
least reading the questions and answer options.
-Another suggestion Mrs. Shannon made was to have Jackson
come four days a week instead of two. All teachers, including
myself, expressed a concern of missing assignments from Jackson.
We believed that he would be more successful with completing
and turning in assignments if he was in school. We also believed
testing in person would help Jackson focus and not rush as much.
