What is a Student Led Conference? 

 

Most of all, a Student Led Conference is a celebration of your child's learning.  

 

This is an opportunity for your child to share class work with you and share their successes and areas for growth, in a conversation supported by adults –you and me! 

 

Virtual Student-Led Conferences are another thing that is new during this school year. 

 

Here is a step-by-step guide to support all of us through the process.  

 

As always, your flexibility and understanding is appreciated. 

 

Before 

 

•Book a conference time with your child’s teacher 

•Ensure you have access to Microsoft  teams and let your child’s teacher know if you do not  

•View artifacts of learning provided on Google Classroom, alongside your child (our goal is to have work posted by March 6th) 

•Review the “During Student-Led Conferences” and “After Student-Led Conferences” steps  

•Prepare any questions you may have, here are a few ideas/prompts: 

 

• What would you like us to notice? 

• What is your favorite part? 

• What are you going to work on? 

• How could you make it better? 

• What are your next steps? 

• How did completing this work make you feel? 

 

During 

 

•Log on to Microsoft Teams with your child, as this conference will be led by your child 

•You may be placed in the “Waiting Room” while you wait for the teacher to become available 

•Have artifacts of learning and provided guiding questions accessible 

 •Your child may need “think-time” after being asked a question 

 

After 

 

•Continue to celebrate your child’s learning and hard work this year!
