Whats the Role of the Parent in Student-Led Conferences?
We believe that student-led conferences are an important experience for all students and hope that all parents will be able to participate. Your role is critical to the success of the conference. Your first role is as a listener. Having a parent audience for learning gives students a powerful reason to learn and work hard. Your second role as a parent is to talk with the student about the work that will be presented. You will gain a better understanding of the academic expectations set for your child. Your third role as a parent is to identify ways you can support the student to achieve goals that will be set for the next grading period.
