Overview

This document reminds students of the agenda in their Student-Led Conferences.

Context

Although Gateway students practice their Student-Led Conference portfolio presentations, we find that students can be nervous and forget what they aim to accomplish. This is especially true for younger students or those new to Student-Led Conferences.

Implementation

Provide the checklist to students before the conference so that they can practice with a friend. This practice time is a great opportunity to have older students guide younger ones and give them feedback, building a supportive peer community in the process. Reassure younger students that they can refer to the checklist during the conference, while the older ones will likely want to demonstrate their competence without the checklist.
