Student Led Conferences…
Students are expected to attend their conference.
It is a time for them to share their accomplishments, strengths, weaknesses and goals. It is a time for them to take responsibility for their behavior, grades and progress. It is a time for them to reflect on their personal educational goals. The students will prepare for their conference in the coming weeks. They we will be excited (and nervous) to be a part of it.
Student led conferences are a little different from the traditional conference. Who is the conference about? I believe the students should be a part of this important meeting. It allows the students to take more responsibility for the choices they have been making this year, whether they are positive or negative. If there are issues that need to be confidential, then another conference can be scheduled.
When you come to the conference, your student will follow a detailed agenda. Although the students will lead the conference I will also be there to help guide them and share my observations as well.
I hope you will be open to this type of conference. I believe the children will develop more confidence and take more ownership in their learning by being a part of the conference. I have experienced student-led conferences as a parent and had success with them as a teacher. I know you will enjoy them too.
See you soon!
