Student-led conferences
provide students with an opportunity to talk with significant adults
about their educational progress.
Each student invites
his or her parents and teacher(s) to attend a meeting concerning the
student's educational goals and progress in meeting those goals.
The meetings are facilitated by the student and follow an agenda that
the student has developed prior to the meeting. During the
meeting, the student shares his or her educational goals and examples
of his or her work (portfolio). The student also analyzes his or
her strengths and weaknesses, and reflects upon the educational
consequences of choices the student has made. Together, the
student, teacher(s) and parents determine what each will do to help
the student move closer to the student's educational goals.
Once students have
learned how to prepare for and conduct a student-led conference,
students can be asked to conduct conferences with their parents at
home on a regular basis.
Student-led
conferencing engages parents. Many schools report doubling their
parent participation at parent conferences with this approach.
