Your Kid's Progress. Engagement Summary Report
British Columbia Ministry of Education
The "Your Kid's Progress" public engagement process represented an unprecedented level of direct conversation between the Ministry of Education and British Columbia (BC) parents. A total of 5,531 feedback forms were submitted, and 379 members of the public attended 11 community open houses. In addition, 63 participants attended small group parent meetings in eight communities where randomly selected participants discussed reporting and completed feedback forms to provide input on their experience of current reporting practices. The level of participation resulted in a meaningful conversation about the future of education in BC and a collection of ideas to help shape the future of communication about student learning. This report offers a description of the public engagement process, a summary of key themes from each community open house and small group parent meeting, and a summary of the feedback collected via an online survey. Grading and assessment, and the personalization of feedback about student learning, emerged as top themes from the engagement process. Other themes included communication strategies, parent-teacher conferences, support at home, and special needs students.
