The Student-Led conference is an opportunity for parents, teachers and students to discuss and celebrate a student’s learning. Students are actively involved in sharing examples of their work, in self-evaluation, and in goal setting. The conference provides each student with an active and meaningful role in reviewing and reflecting on their learning.

The Roles Throughout The Conference

• Students demonstrate what they know as they share their accomplishments and set new learning goals;
  
  
• Parents   find out about their children’s learning and have the opportunity to ask questions and express their ideas; help make plans to support their children’s learning at home;
  
  
• Teachers facilitate the conversation by clarifying, elaborating, and responding to specific questions and concerns
