I really liked the presentation today on student led conferences. While my district has been utilizing conferences of this type for about 10 years now, I took away some good ideas that I may try to implement as part of my internship work, namely exit surveys for suggestions. Survey Monkey is calling! :)
Our student led conferences run fairly smoothly. Students rehearse for multiple days during their Advisory Time (A.T.) with their A.T. teacher (who the conference is with). The students compile work from each class and attach a sheet to each piece of work that lists what the assignment was about, what the student did well, what the student would do differently if given the chance, and how to improve the following grading term. 2 days prior to conferences, A.T. teachers give the students a checklist on how to lead their conference and then the students practice. I can say from the teacher's perspective that I really feel that this type of conference is more beneficial to all parties involved.
