Student Led Conference Expectations

During the conferences, Ms. McFaddin and I will be in our rooms to monitor the time, take pictures, and facilitate the transitions.  All questions about class work should be directed to, and answered by, the students.  In addition, please expect the following from Thursday's student-led conferences:

·      Your child will be in charge of the conference and has planned specific areas to share. Please allow your child to proceed with the agenda.

·      You will be shown completed work, see demonstrations of skills, and be told about the class and your child’s part in it.  

·      Several children will be conducting conferences in the classroom at the same time.  Please do not bring other children and kindly mute your mobile phone during the conference so that your attention to your child’s presentation can be uninterrupted.

·      Your child may be unsure of your reactions to their presentation. Please provide encouragement and feedback as your child proceeds. Ask questions to clarify and try not to direct or control the conference.


·      Expect your child to share his/her strengths, successes, best work, and favorite subjects. Your child may suggest areas for improvement. Discussion of a plan or goal for improvement is encouraged.
