Student LED Conference at VNGS KELAMBAKKAM held on 19th October,2019
Leaders of their own learning- Student led conferences
When schools turn their eyes and calendars toward parent-teacher conferences, Velammal New Gen School, Kelambakkam took a look at this growing trend of Student Led conferences or SLC.
Revising and replacing the traditional parent-teacher conference, the SLC allowed the young minds of the middle school to develop leadership and organizational skills and take ownership of their learning. Parents were notified that the conference is student led and the educators are there to assist and facilitate when and if required.
It provided students with the ability to have open discussions with their parents about their successes and struggles and put these skills into practice in a collaborative and supportive way. Students prepared for the conference, lead the discussion with their parents, and set goals for the year. Preparation for this also underscores the importance of analysis and self-reflection at this point in the student’s educational journey.
Overall outcome of the SLC was it gave students the responsibility to communicate their struggles and successes with their parents fosters independent learners who can share their thoughts, feelings, needs and accomplishments and be prepared for a brighter and clearer academic year.
