Student-Led Conferences Preplanned meeting in which students demonstrate responsibility for their academic performance by providing a review of their work for family and teachers. The students lead the conference by presenting work samples, discussing their learning, and show what they have learned. They prepare and organize work samples, demonstrate new learning, plan next steps, and receive feedback from their parents and teachers about strengths and goals for improvement. Students take more ownership of their learning in a Student-led conference. Parents and students have open communication about the school, after- school activities, and other essential decisions in life. Student-Led conferences also create more opportunities for teachers to establish a stronger working relationship with parents and students. Some of our students prefer more teacher interaction at their conference while others prefer less. Teachers will be circulating the conference space and making sure that they interact when appropriate and interject in conferences where they have information that they would like to share.
Before SLC Students will Collect work samples to share with their parents. Review their work with the teacher and think about learning goals Explain the benefit of the conference as a learning process to their parents Teachers helped students Collect work samples Review learning goals Explain and model the conference as a learning process to parents Organize the conference area for successful communication Parents are encouraged to Motivate their child s involvement in the learning process.

During SLC Students will Share and discuss learning with their parents. Identify strengths and learning goals with parents and teachers. Connect their learning to long-term career goals. Determine the next steps to improve personal growth and learning. Teachers helped students Act as a guide and offer positive and constructive feedback. Support personal and new learning goals with students and parents. Inquire about students personal and new learning goals. Assist students and parents in determining the next steps for learning. Parents are encouraged to Provide encouragement, praise, and reinforcement. Assist their child in identifying strengths and learning goals.
