Relevance

A retired RN, the speaker will provide brain-based evidence of the importance of executive function skills obtained through implementation of Student Led Conferences. Additionally, evidence will be produced demonstrating how SLCs engage family and community.

Brief Program Description

Student mental health is closely associated with their sense of ownership and engagement in the classroom. That sense of ownership correlates closely with a deep understanding of their academic data and ability to set goals for their future. Attendees will receive pragmatic, high impact implementation tools to create a culture that supports and encourages student led conferences.

Summary

Data should be used in the classroom to understand rather than punish—creating a “no blame” culture of data inquiry. This requires a culture shift. One way to shift that culture is to encourage scholars to own their educational path through data inquiry and goal setting. Student Led Conferences help students achieve in a variety of ways including leadership development, organizational skills, public speaking, and goal setting. SLCs encourage students to take ownership, responsibility, and accountability for their learning data and can be implemented in grades K-12. The presenter will provide techniques for improving student and parent engagement by implementing successful Student Led Conferences.

Evidence

The speaker will present a patented framework for creating a culture of data inquiry in schools across grade levels. This framework lends to improved engagement of staff, students, and parents. Participants will benefit from research-based strategies supported by an integration of research by the National Association of Secondary School Principals, Leaders of Their Own Education, and Prodigy among others.

Learning Objective 1

Participants will be able to define key components of student led conferences.

Learning Objective 2

Participants will be able to understand the impact of implementing student led conferences for students, families, and school culture.

Learning Objective 3

Participants will be able to determine structures that need to be in place for schools to be successful with student led conferences.
