Student-Led Conferences

 

Student led conferences (SLCs) are our alternative to traditional parent-teacher conferences. SLCs are an opportunity for students to share their academic and social progress with their families.

 

If you are not familiar with the student-centered approach, here are our reasons and goals for using this approach:

 

● To teach students the process of reflection and self-evaluation

● To increase parent-child communication and encourage honest conversation among teachers, the student, and the parents

● To allow students to take ownership of their academic performance and to do their own goal setting

 

Here is what to expect at the Student-Led Conference:

 

● Your child will do most of the talking

● Your child will discuss his/her progress

● Your child will discuss his/her goals

● Parents will be able to ask further questions of the student and teacher
