• PTM - Middle School October 28
  Pathways World School, Gurgaon
  

The holistic development of a child depends upon the hard work of student, parent, and teacher. To ensure that all these stakeholders communicate, Middle School organized PTM from 6^th to 16^th of October 2020. The current situation of the COVID-19 pandemic shifted the PTM sessions, much like regular school, onto an online platform. This allowed teachers and parents to participate in Parent-Teacher meetings from the comfort of their homes.

Parents could book their PTM slots through excel sheets and google drives shared by respective subject teachers of their child and could further communicate with teachers to find a timing that would be more suitable to them. This method ensured that they had enough time to connect with every subject teacher and could receive insight about their child’s achievements, as well as their areas of improvement.

Teachers gave parents and students their undivided attention in 15-minute sessions through recurring zoom meetings, the link of which, was sent earlier in the PTM week. In the meetings, the teachers shared details regarding students’ performance in the academic year up until now, about the past formatives, the most recent MYP summative, which took place in late September, and class participation. The PTM sessions also provided parents with a platform to directly connect with teachers regarding how they can assist their children in their academic journey ahead. Parents were encouraged to meet all subject teachers.

The first-ever online Middle School PTM was a huge success as it enabled even the outstation parents to connect with teachers and fixed timeslots were efficient in maintaining minimum waiting time, so that parents too could get back to their jobs with ease. However, we do hope to be able to hold our next set of PTM’s on the School campus.
