Greater insight into student needs. When students are a part of the conference process, parents and teachers get to hear directly from them, which in turn helps us to better understand how students learn and where we can give them the tools that they need to succeed. When students lead conferences, they are in the driver’s seat. They are in a position to problem-solve by identifying strategies of support critical to their success.

Activation of student voice. Students develop essential leadership skills when they must speak for themselves, identifying their strengths, stretches, and future academic and personal goals. Cultivating this specific type of autonomy will bode well for students in other situations in which they are confident in asking adults for support.

Increased student engagement. When students know that they have an active voice in the conversation, they will choose to engage more in a classroom setting, as they will be able to speak directly to their improvement in key skill areas. Another benefit is increasing students’ confidence in their ability to speak in front of adults, learning how to advocate for what they need to be successful.
