Professional Development to Practice
What Are Student-led Conferences?
• The student acts as the leader of the
conference with his/her parents or others.
• The teacher is primarily the facilitator.
• Students share their academic and behavioral
achievement and goals.
• The focus is on student work collected in
portfolios over time (e.g., work samples and
tests, data notebooks, etc.)
