When Students Lead Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Le Countryman, Lyn; Schroeder, Merrie
Educational Leadership, v53 n7 p64-68 Apr 1996
Dissatisfied with their present parent-teacher conference format, an Iowa middle school perused the literature on student-led conferences and established three program implementation phases: initial preparations, conferences, and evaluations. Students selected portfolio items, decided what to discuss with parents, and rehearsed the conference "script" with classmates. Although anxious, most performed well on conference day.
