I love this culture of doing Student Led Conferences. Indeed, this allows the student for a greater reflection on his/her performance in the school. We've started this year. Thank you for the great video.
This feels more disempowering rather than empowering. Not all of us have perfect grades like all of these kids in this video somehow have. If a student has bad or even failing grades it can smother them in a blanket of discomfort and shame having to tell their parents in front of their teacher how they are failing their classes and assignments. Students can feel more comfortable in the traditional parent-teacher conference knowing that if their teacher says they are failing a certain part of the curriculum, they can discuss it with their parents at home where they can feel significantly more secure and feel like they are having a private 1 on 1 conversation rather than having the student have to drive most or the entirety of the conference on their own.
Yeah lol parents and teachers might like it but with how my grades are presented online it only shows my most recent grade for a certain unit and not the average. Example: I get an average for an A but the most recent thing I did was a B-. Even with the averages I still won’t have amazing grades with some things. My grades have also been worse than usual with online school.
Thank you for this video it has helped me understand what to kind of expect at my daughter's first student let conference the end of this week. She has been going to an IB school and this is the first time they are doing these kind of conferences at the elementary level.
This is great for those parents who don’t talk to their kids. I already know all my kid is working on, so why attend if we already discuss the same at home and a teacher won’t be telling me a thing?
I see so much more value here than just knowing what a child is working on. The video talks about all the pre-work that students do to prepare for the conference: they reflect on their work, they make choices about what to include in their binders, they set goals and reflect on how they are doing towards them, and they practice what they will say. So it's about a lot more than you, the parent, knowing what's happening at school. It's also about your child working through all the steps and then presenting their work to you - that's a significant project itself. I would think the teachers probably do share during the conference as well, and certainly you would be able to ask questions of them.
Hi, would love to try this but how does it work with many subject teacher specialists. In the video you have what i assume are the Homeroom teachers not the subject specialists??
Had to come see what a led conference is, haven’t been to a conference since my 21 year old was in elementary school, unfortunately have to attend one tomorrow for my 7 year old niece I’m raising sigh 😩, I’m not a social butterfly 😭
I can't get over the double proud-shoulder-pat for Johnathan at 4:05 :) So sweet!
We do this twice a year at my high school and my dad loves it!

Maybe their students are all academically excellent that's why they have this kind of parents, teachers and students conference.
It is really amazing . We have done it at our school, at SULTAN AGUNG ISLAMIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SEMARANG, INDONESIA...since 3 years ago
Having trouble with my son. I have never seen an idea of this nature before today. Thank you!
The student is the center of the conference. Nice one madam principal

I feel uncomfortable doing this
For real
Reflection should be followed up with students as part of the learning process.
What an amazing idea! And what a great school ❤
