Student Led Conferences – Teacher Feedback:

1. “I am planning ahead this year, getting ready for conferences early. I love the simplicity of this, yet it is engaging. It has taken the thinking (and panicking) out of conferences. Thank you for yet another fantastic resource!”
2. “This is a great resource to use at conference time! It really simplified the process and helped students to take ownership of presenting their learning.”
3. “Perfectly laid out my conference night! Students know what to share with parents and the addition of the reflection sheet was invaluable for them to complete after each report card went home.”
4. “Great resource to use in preparing for conferences. I asked the students to start preparing their portfolio a week before conferences. In the future, I will be starting two weeks before.”
5. “I will continue to use this for years to come. It’s a fantastic tool for helping students hold themselves accountable and reflect on their habits.”
6. “I had never done student-led conferences before. This was an awesome resource. The examples really helped students. Myself and parents were impressed!”
