Prepping for a student-led conference: The Script & The Pep Talk
Channel: The Tarrant Institute for Innovative Education
Date: 2018-10-11

Lamoille Union Middle School educator Katie Bryant gives one of her students a brief "pep talk" before his student-led conference by reminding him of the script they use to give some structure to the event. Students aren't required to adhere strictly to the script, but it does provide a brief framework and help to eliminate anxiety in presenters. 

The script consists of: welcoming your family to the student-led conference,  sharing your portfolio of curated work, and sharing your goals and grades. It also reminds students to bring a fully-charged iPad to their conference. :D

How do you help students prep for their student-led conferences?
