  18. Student-led Conferences at-a-Glance • In SLCs, students will organize their presentation around three statements that answer the question, “What will I do with my life?”: • Who I Am (a record of who the student is, and what they know NOW) • Self-Aware • Knowledgeable • What I Have Accomplished (this is a record of the student’s PAST) • Qualified (Work Samples) • What I Plan To Do With My Life (a record of the student’s planned FUTURE) • Plan Ready (6th to 7th to 8th to High School) • Financially Ready

  19. Why Student-led Conferences? • Helps students take responsibility for learning, show leadership, and develop their future plans • Increases advisor involvement • Opportunity for students to positively showcase and take responsibility for goals and academics • Students are empowered by SLC format, especially senior year • Creates a forum for school, students and parent communication • Many schools have 90 percent parent attendance • Increase in parent involvement

  20. More About Student-led Conferences • Once or twice a year with advisor • Students can use pre-made PowerPoint, students use printout for notes • Makeups are done with advisor, counselor, or principal • Schools strive to get 100% students completed • Common to see 90% students with at least one parent at conference

  21. Best Practices for Student-led Conferences • Incentives for parent attendance include raffle, college career readiness information table, surveys • Schools report SLC’s are “powerful” for students, staff, and parents • Parents connect with school for college and career information • Through professional-quality presentations on High School & Beyond Plan and exemplary senior or culminating projects, it shows students care about their futures • Having more than one student-led conference (SLC)a year so that traditional conference can address specific academic concerns

  22. Forecasting and Student-informed Scheduling Connect SLC with registration Gatekeeper courses and rigor linked key to later success Students select courses to help with transition to high school and beyond School bases schedule on student informed choices Students may need help to succeed

  23. Why? • Advisories • Develop meaningful relationships; • Alignment with academic programs • Consistent schedule • Curriculum • Develop scope and sequence using year-long curriculum map • Flexibility • Variety in delivery • Portfolio • Students take ownership of goals and HSBP • Student-led Conference • Powerful way for students to showcase • Parent connection • Can be CP/Senior Project • Student-informed Scheduling • Access to challenging classes for students • Evaluation • Use evidence-based data to inform and make changes • Program Management • Supports improvement plan and distributive leadership • Consists of principal, counselor, and teachers • Connection to CGCP • Foundation • Counselors as leaders • Counselors can make “change” in school • Vertical teaming between MS and HS for seamless transition

  24. What is Role of School Counselor to lead teaching Guidance Curriculum? • Primary Leader? • Guidance Curriculum in Core Classes? • Extra Activities? • Publications / Communications • Evening Presentations • Transition Activities? • Other? • Other factors • Size of School • Number of Counselors • ASCA Model – Four Domains

  25. Evaluation says… • Curriculum-delivered Advisories: Increase in alignment with other academic programs such as AVID, professional development opportunities, and increase in career and college conversations. • Portfolios: Increase of e-portfolios and digital storytelling along with effortless connection to High School and Beyond Plan/Culminating Project. • Student-led Conferences: Increased parent involvement and goals of 100 percent participation. • Student-informed Scheduling: Increase in middle school algebra and increase in gateway class enrollment such as high school chemistry and physics. • Evaluation: Positive school climate as a result of program and positive perception data from parents, students, and teachers about student-led conferences. • Program Management: Program supports school improvement efforts, distributive leadership, and strengthened community partnerships. • Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling Program: The longer the engagement, the greater the increase in college-direct rates and increased connection with career centers.
