We hold student led conferences in the spring and they are SO powerful!! I am all for making the students accountable and active participants in their own learning.

Thanks for sharing! :)<br /><br />Jennifer<br /><b><i><a href="http://mrslaffinslaughings.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Laffin's Laughings</a></i></b>Jennifer Laffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409566035103972341noreply@blogger.com
