The document discusses middle school student-led conferences (MS SLCs) as an alternative to traditional teacher-led conferences. MS SLCs will be held on March 28th in classrooms to provide a more comfortable setting for students to present to parents and for parents to hear from their children. SLCs are student-driven, allow more time for conversation, and focus on student accountability, goal-setting, and samples of student work. They are advocated to increase parent involvement, create a positive learning environment centered around the student, teach self-reflection skills, and motivate students.
