Parents
"Interesting concept. I was skeptical when I first learned of this conference style. I believe that it works and my child was more in tune with the conference."
"Having the students lead the conference allows for them to take PRIDE in their accomplishments. It also adds more time to review the material to know what to ask the teachers. We didn't feel rushed."
"The student-led conference is a great alternative to standing around the halls waiting to see the teachers. A much better use of everyone's time."
"Great format. Nice to have my daughter so involved and responsible. Teachers were available and answered all of our questions."
"What a way to empower a student!" |

Students
"I thought that the conferences were actually kind of cool. We got to tell our parents about what work we did or didn't do and how we progressed during the first half of the semester."
"I thought bringing technology into the conferences was a very good idea because I think it kept our parents interested."
"After the student-led conference, I think that now my mom has a good feeling about how I am doing in school."
"I like them much better than the traditional ones. I feel more involved with what my parents think about me and the progress I've made."
"My dad really liked the set up of the conferences. He liked how if we wanted to talk to teachers that we got to." |
