On required teacher work days the student and their parent could come and speak with their teachers but it was optional so many of the students would not participate.]]> 2020-10-22 17:06:05 UTC https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853397520 https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853398187 When I was in elementary school it felt like we only ever had conferences with our teachers when we were doing bad or acting out. There weren't ever good conferences for our parents to know we were doing good. In my classroom I am going to have those conferences to talk about when they are not only doing bad but good as well.]]> 2020-10-22 17:06:13 UTC https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853398187 ritchersr https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853398909 When I was in elementary school, I can't recall a specific conference that I experienced, but all I know is that they were few and far between. I have always associated conferences as something bad, because they usually only happened whenever I did something bad.]]> 2020-10-22 17:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853398909 https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853399455 I hope to use student-led conferences as a way for students to showcase their understanding of learning to their peers, parents, myself as their teacher, as well as themselves. This would be an opportunity for them to reflect on how they can benefit and grow from what they've learned and accomplished in the classroom.]]> 2020-10-22 17:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853399455 stonekl2 https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853399567 2. I would like for conferences with students to be a way to further create and improve relationships with students. This is something that makes a big impact in the classroom and can help to increase the amount of learning that occurs.]]> 2020-10-22 17:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853399567 rodriguezpm https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853400249 2020-10-22 17:06:38 UTC https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853400249 fittss https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853400766 As an elementary school teacher, conferences are a good time to help students think about the targets and what they are learning. It is a good time to help students learn to engage in reflection and self-assessment. I believe that when students become more reflective they also have more control over their learning and that helps with motivation.]]> 2020-10-22 17:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853400766 smithkl12 https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853401248 2- When having conferences with my students I want them to know how they are doing. I want make them aware of their performance, achievements, there progress. They also need to hear the good they are doing in class as an encouragement. Yes, address any bad that is happening, but make sure it doesn't outweigh the good.]]> 2020-10-22 17:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853401248 https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853401358 2. In a high school history class, conferences are important. I hope to conference with students regarding their work. I want to monitor their progress on longer assignments, offer feedback, and give them helpful resources to use. Conferences can also be used to pace the students. The conferences can be used as a benchmark on longer assignments. ]]> 2020-10-22 17:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/smithds5/aowz48gkxcg41vrl/wish/853401358
