Dear Families,

Park Elementary is excited for Student-Led Conferences April 9th or 10th. Student led conferences engage children in understanding and taking ownership of their learning. There are multiple benefits for student led conferences. Students are given a voice in their education and accept and communicate personal responsibility for their learning. Students who participate in student-led conferences allow students to reflect on their progress and build goals around areas of strengths and weaknesses. At Park, we believe students who lead their conferences are building self-confidence, presentation skills, and critical-thinking. Classroom teachers will connect with parents for 10 minutes of the 20 minutes.

Role of the Parent/Guardian in Student-Led Conferences
• The parent/guardian must be willing to let the student speak, saving questions until the end.
• The parent/guardian arrives on time.
• The parent/guardian shares any lingering concerns with the crew advisors at the end of the conference.
• The parent/guardian helps the student meet his or her academic and behavioral goals by supporting their
progress at home.

Parent/Family Norms
• Be fully present: Honor the process with open eyes and mind.
• Seek first to understand: Listen, watch, and ask questions without judgment.
• Ask questions: Clarify student reflections with respectful questions.
• Enjoy yourself! Take pride in the process of your child’s learning

We look forward to seeing you on April 9th or 10th to celebrate your child’s growth and progress!
