I switched to Student-Led Conferences in 2016 and I will never go back to teacher conferences! We make it an event! We set out an activity station for siblings to colour and play in the corner, we bake apple and peach cakes, and make juice. Students arrive with their parents, offer refreshments, invite everyone to sit at the conference table, get their organizing box, and get out their booklet. They read the welcome page, and reflect on their progress along each page of the guide. Parents listen in awe, hearing their children sound so insightful, using full sentences instead of the usual 2 syllable grunts they often hear at home. Afterwards, students ask if there are any questions or comments, and I may ask one and the parents may. If parents are determined to ask the teacher a question, I redirect to the student; they almost always know the answer as well or better than I, since it IS about THEIR learning! We all sign the booklet to signify the meeting, and it is over! It takes between 10-15 minutes beginning to end. No horse-voice, no interrogation, not parent monologues. BLISSFUL! Actually ENJOYABLE! :) I have seen two parents cry they were so proud of their child!
*** For the digital versions, I am providing the editable versions. Once you make your changes, I would recommend fixing the background so they are unclickable. To do this, take a screenshot of the elements you want fixed, then set that image as the background on a new slide. Return the text boxes on top of the locked background.
