Can anyone recommend a book on Student Led Conferences (elementary) that they have used and found very useful?

Thanks

The above site has Sample Print Materials on it you could look at, just scroll down and there are checklists and sample letters.

I have a ton of resources... we were required to run such conferences at my last school. I have stuff for grades 1-4... my stuff is more simple and little kid friendly than what I saw at the website posted above. Let me know if you are interested in any.

I have sheets to reflect on learning in math, reading and writing. I have student sheets to prepare for the conference (checklists), evaluation forms, forms for favorites like read alouds and special projects and much more. We stored our "portfolio" of stuff in pizza boxes that the kids decorated with artwork, photos and mementos from the year. They made great long term storage boxes where families could add items from extra curricular and community activities for the year. We practiced the conference with peers prior to the actual day. I staggered parent start times every 15 minutes and often had 3 conferences going at once. I did very little but thank families for coming and snapping a photo of each child as they presented the material. These photos went home later. It was a great experience but time consuming to organize.

I would love to see your files! I'm thinking of starting student-led conferences this school year. I've posted on the 4-8 board and have only received a few bites.

Thank you for sharing your ideas!

p.s. I like the pizza box idea. I thought about using cereal boxes.

[iluv2nd]

I emailed several to you. Let me know if you receive.

[yoda]

Please email documents again because I did not receive your email.

[iluv2nd]

I tried again... Let me know if you get them this time.

What's your e-mail address? Maybe I can email you.

please email me any student led conference forms you would use for this grade level!!!!!!1

I would love to get the "little kid" kid-friendly forms that you have for student-led conferences. I teach 1st grade. We only have a few weeks before conferences and I've never done student-led before.

Thank you very much!

If you still have them available, could I see some of the resources you have for student led conferences for the younger grades?

I'd love some resources for my student led. I have grade 1. Worksheets for the kids to fill out with me are ideal.
thanks
