Sharing our Intentions: Student-Led Conferences by Kate Hesla https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1 Post your intentions for expanding and applying your learning from today into next year. en-us 2017-07-02 17:47:00 UTC 2017-07-06 15:19:29 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200878 I realized that I need to begin with fully integrating individualized learning targets BEFORE I implement SLCs. ]]> 2017-07-06 15:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200878 Key Decisions .pdf daniel_crowley https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200890 The Key Decisions Document (on tic-tac-toe board) was really helpful. I will continue to use that document and answer all those questions fully. -DJC]]> 2017-07-06 15:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200890 elizabeth_livorsi https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200896 I intend to incorporate learning targets more into my instruction. I feel as though students need to understand the learning targets prior to finding evidence of success of individual goals/targets.

Collecting evidence for and reflecting on these goals will have to be continuous and ongoing. In addition, the prep work for students will be more on what the conference will look like and sound like for them in order to ease anxieties. https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200977 2017-07-06 15:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200977 jill_mancini https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200981 I]]> 2017-07-06 15:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200981 My main focus is on learning targets- getting the kids to understand and own them, set goals, and reflect on them. I really think that focusing my feedback more on formative assessments than summative assessments will be helpful in shifting student thinking from a number grade to reflecting on the actual learning. https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200988 2017-07-06 15:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178200988 I want to use this for progress monitoring for student's IEP's.

This will give me more time to gather information and "train" students on how to do it too. Then at the March conference I will do the student led conference. https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201021 2017-07-06 15:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201021 Promote the concept Collab Conf at grade level night, utilize the parent letter and reminder/hint letter we crafted. https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201027 2017-07-06 15:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201027 jill_mancini https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201066 I plan on creating a new goal setting form and doing it on google to fill in at the conference.]]> 2017-07-06 15:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201066 https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201084 For my first year of trying SLC, I would like to begin simply by having the students bring their one reading goal and one math goal to their conference. They would share that and what they are doing (with example/s) of how they are working towards that goal during workshop time. The practice of sharing goals and "action plans" will be part of my classroom culture to help the kids practice articulating their goals and what they are doing to meet those goals. ]]> 2017-07-06 15:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201084 I will involve students in parent conferences. They will share their goals for reading, writing, math, and school behaviors. Curriculum Night will be used to inform parents. https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201085 2017-07-06 15:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201085 I plan on modeling and directing student's on how to led conferences.

I think this is a great way to go, but need to be more clear how to implement this with our youngest learners. :) https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201278 2017-07-06 15:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201278 My plan for next year will be three fold: krista_zicari https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201282 1. create a binder to learning targets, evidence of progress, and reflections
2. Establish a culture of routine reflection, goal setting, and action planning.
3. Schedule student led conference in the fall. Remembering to start small with one ELA, one math, and one Essential Skills goals. I also want to explore ways to better report to parent on their progress with action plans.]]> 2017-07-06 15:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201282 My plan for next year will be three fold: krista_zicari https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201283 1. ]]> 2017-07-06 15:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201283 GETTING STARTED https://padlet.com/katherine_hesla/6jck53teygk1/wish/178201302 This summer I will "cogitate" and think about do-able beginning steps in setting confidence-building events around involving students in conferences for the fall. I want to watch the videos on the tic-tac-toe page for primary.
