Conferences can be used to provide feedback, set goals, and evaluate student progress. There are several types of conferences: Feedback conferences provide insight to students and allow them to self-assess. Goal-setting conferences involve clarifying learning targets, assessing current status, setting goals, and making plans. Progress conferences focus on a student's growth over time using before-and-after evidence. Showcase conferences demonstrate students' competency and mastery of skills to an audience. Intervention conferences address areas of concern and determine solutions when a student is struggling.
