I love the idea of students taking ownership of their learning and work during Student Led Conferences. It really put into perspective about the idea of alternative methods for progress reports and report cards. It shows the proof of wasted materials that we use with report cards and how efficient Student Led Conferences and Digital Portfolios could not only be to school systems, but to the earth as well. It is collaborative and includes students, parents, and teachers. This could also be great way to include parents and lets them be aware of how their child is doing in school. It is also an incredible way for parents and teachers to make strong connection and communication. It also gives students the opportunity to track their own progress and monitor their work each week. This is good, especially for students who strive for excellence and for students who struggle to be able to keep a close eye on their work, so they try hard on every activity and paper they do inside the classroom. I would incorporate Student Led Conferences in my classroom to create a place where students, teachers, and parents can come together and see the effort of each students work. I would use Digital Portfolios as an effective alternative of paper reports of progress to students and parents as well.
