Episode 5.4: Communication of Learner’s Needs, Progress, and Achievement to the Key
Stakeholders
Effective communication of assessment results is one of the essential components of
assessment principles. This lesson will guide you in understanding how to properly communicate the
needs, progress, and achievement of the students to the parents.

Objectives:
1. Discuss the essence of communicating the students’ needs to their parents
2. Write a narrative report of a parent-teacher conference
3. Explain how the teacher communicates the students’ achievement

Education Theory
Learning will not be successful without the help and cooperation of the key stakeholders, the
parents or guardians. According to the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers, every teacher shall
inform the parents, through proper authorities, about the progress and deficiencies of the learners
under him/her, exercising utmost candor and tact in pointing out the learners’ deficiencies and in
seeking the parents’ cooperation for the proper guidance and improvement of the learners.

In DepEd Order 8, series of 2015, the summary of the learner’s progress is shown quarterly to
the parents or guardians through a parent – teacher conference, in which the report card is being
discussed. A parent – teacher conference (PTC) is conducted every grading period to ensure the
effective communication of the learners’ needs and progress to the key stakeholders. The table below
is used to determine the learners’ progress, which includes the grading scale with the corresponding
descriptor and remark.

Descriptor Grading Scale Remark

Outstanding 90 – 100 Passed
Very Satisfactory 85 – 89 Passed
Satisfactory 80 – 84 Passed
Fairly Satisfactory 75 – 79 Passed
Did Not Meet Expectations Below 75 Failed

The prospect of a PTC can arouse intense emotions in both the teacher and the parent. New
teachers can be especially anxious about meeting parents for the first time. The reality is that most
parents really do want their children to have a positive school experience and prefer to develop a
cooperative home – school relationship. Professionally conducted PTCs can prove a most valuable
strategy for improving student classroom behaviour as well as enhancing learning. (Partin, 2005).

Furthermore, the students’ achievement can be communicated to the parents or guardians

through recognition programs conducted by the schools. In DepEd Order 36, series of 2016, the
following awards may be bestowed on the deserving students: classroom awards, grade – level
awards, and special awards.
