Course Selection and Student Led Conferences
Student led conferences come in all forms but are designed for the student to lead the conversation about the work they are proud of and what they need help with. This is not a traditional parent and teacher conference. We need our students to own their wins and their challenges.
Each year, Academic Deans schedule a time to meet with the student, parent, and a teacher to facilitate a Student Led Conference (SLC). During the conference, the student will share a digital portfolio, discuss strengths and areas of growth, and select courses for the next year.
