Question:
Have you tried student-led conferences? What impact did you notice?

@Sanaa
Yes, I have tried student-led conferences, and the impact has been very positive. When students present their own progress, they take greater ownership of their learning and become more self-aware. It also improves their communication skills and confidence, while parents gain a clearer understanding of their child’s strengths and areas for growth. Overall, it creates a more meaningful and collaborative experience for everyone involved.

@Sanaa Student-led conferences (SLCs) are a type of parent-teacher conference where students take the lead in presenting their academic progress and goals. Instead of teachers primarily sharing information, students guide the discussion, showcasing their work, reflecting on their learning, and outlining future plans. This approach fosters student ownership of learning, enhances communication skills, and promotes self-reflection.
