Demonstration Classes

For all classes except Adult-Level Classes, the last class of the semester is Parent Meeting Day.   As a part of the Parent Meeting teachers prepare a short demonstration. The Demonstration showcases what students have learned and the teacher's methods as well as gives the teacher an opportunity to meet the families of the children they have been working with.

For Adult-Level Classes, parents of students under the age of 15 need to be invited for a conference the last class in the semester.  No presentation is required.

Student Progress Reports

During the Parent Meeting all students will recieve a Student Progress Report or report card.  Report templates can be found on any of the computers in Yingzhifu.   

Student Awards

During the Demonstration classes 3 awards (Excellent student, Great Progress and Most Helpful student) are handed out.  These awards act as a way to recognize and encourage outstanding students.
