Learner Led Conferences

Learner-Led Conferences (LLCs) take place next month, on Friday, March 18th; Thursday, March 24; and Friday, March 25.  These conferences create a purposeful way for learners to talk with adults about their learning and offer parents a direct and active role in their child’s school life. These conferences are most important as it allows for valuable conversation and reflection that you may not normally have each day.

What to Expect at Learner-Led Conferences
A Learner-Led Conference offers your learner not only a real voice in the assessment of their learning, but it also offers her or him practice in speaking to their strengths. This will prepare them for the real-life experience of talking to potential employers as they get older. This process is more of a performance than an evaluation; your learner will compile what they have been learning and review this process with you, the family member.

What is the Role of the Parent at an LLC?
Parents play an important supportive role in this process. The focus of the conference is on learning and growth, not simply a “show and tell” display of work. It is a time for families to “sit beside” their child, listen to and trust their child’s assessment of his/her own learning, and ask good questions. Families may also work with the child to set new goals based on the discussion during the conference. Your child’s facilitator will email you  a sign-up sheet to make an appointment for the conference. We hope that you will take advantage of this wonderful experience.
