Student-led conferences are designed to facilitate productive conversations between students, their families, and teachers. The goals of this model are to:

• Allow families a convenient time to meet with their child’s teachers.
• Help students take ownership of their learning and become an active participant in the conversations surrounding their education.
• Empower students to discuss the data behind their learning and draw conclusions about their strengths and areas where growth could occur.
• Facilitate conversations between families and teachers about their child’s academic progress and behavioral performance at school.
