It was great to hear some of those foundational pieces now so I can work on those first.]]> 2017-07-19 18:23:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061344 Take away https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061367 Organization is everything. 

Empowering students to communicate their goals and achievements. ]]> 2017-07-19 18:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061367 Feedback.. https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061369 Trial and error will happen and it will look different depending on your kids and resources you have available]]> 2017-07-19 18:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061369 Take Away michaels_butler https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061370 The biggest thing I took away was that conferences are most effective when students have learned how to come prepared for their conferences. ]]> 2017-07-19 18:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061370 Wow https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061381 I learned that this can be a lot upfront but seems to be. Beneficial for students ]]> 2017-07-19 18:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061381 Supporting students throughout the process of student led conferences is needed as all students are at different levels. Letting go of some of the control over time will allow your students to showcase all they know. https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061576 2017-07-19 18:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179061576 Time and organization https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064366 Before this session, I did not realize that the students needed time to analyze and reflect before the conference.

It can be helpful to have students sign up for conference times or have check points during a unit that are required.]]> 2017-07-19 19:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064385 Take away https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064391 Organization is the most important part of this. Student data tracking and conference schedules have to be organized for you to be successful. ]]> 2017-07-19 19:22:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064391 I am ençouraged by having students verbally articulate their understanding of what they have learned. I would also give them opportunities to write their reflections. https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064426 2017-07-19 19:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064426 Take away https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064446 I learned the importance of allowing students to direct the conversation in conferences and give them the responsibility and accountability.]]> 2017-07-19 19:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064446 Time https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064452 Teachers need planning time to discuss ideas with colleagues and reserve time during class for conferences.]]> 2017-07-19 19:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064452 I have had some success with student led conferences in the past; however, I've struggled finding adequate time to complete the meetings and sometimes my kids wouldn't have a lot to say. Today I think the student pre-planning sheets were of great interest to me so that my kids may use it as a template in order to share their insight of their scores. https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064456 2017-07-19 19:22:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064456 Student led https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064539 I think my biggest struggle would be trying to fit student led conferences into schedule effectively. ]]> 2017-07-19 19:24:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mpc_small/2vsbyfg1xi38/wish/179064539
