:::conferences

today we began student-led conferences. although i had attended them as rachel's parent, this was my first time on the other end, as teacher.


actually i had first been familiar with slc's a few years ago through my own investigations. my introduction was through a book simply titled, Student-Led Parent Conferences. that piqued my curiousity into attempting it myself. prevailing attitudes never permitted me to explore this.


regardless, we're finally taking this courageous step forward. tonight's sessions were the among the best experiences i've had parent interviews i've had in my entire twenty-some teaching career. i can't wait to see how my kids and their parents felt about it.


i hope you'll share my same enthusiasm and follow some of these links:
