We all know parent teacher conferences (PTC) as being one of the longest days for teachers. With a tight schedule, teachers must meet with parents to discuss student goals, strengths, and areas for improvement. For so long we've always just sat down with parents to discuss their child, but why have we never included the child in this discussion? So many teachers are taking a swing at student led conferences (SLC) and now I know why! Last Spring I was realizing how independent my students had become over the year. They had developed a tremendous ownership and pride for their learning and there was no better time for us to try SLC. Here's why I use student led conferences: Student led conferences are achievable with any grade level. I teach first grade and have had success with SLC and intend to continue to use these method. I use the Seesaw app to organize and guide our SLC. Here is the run down: Create goals for yourself and your students. What do you want to get out of SLC? What do you want students to share with their parents? Create a folder titled "SLC" on your class Seesaw account. Post the "Behavior Self Evaluation" to your Seesaw account for each child to "copy and edit" to evaluate their own behavior. Parents will possibly see this on Seesaw, but this will also encourage conversation at the SLC. Create a checklist so students know what to add to the "SLC" Seesaw folder. Students were only allowed to add items to the folder if it was a post of their own work from the months up to the conferences. Parents may have already seen these items pop up in their Seesaw notifications, but they most likely haven't heard their child talk about each item. Provide students with a practice checklist and allow students to practice SLC with a partner. Model how they should show what is in the "SLC" Seesaw folder and how they should share and discuss items. This is a great opportunity to teach appropriate speaking skills (clear voice, eye contact, etc.). Students will discuss what they are good at and what they think they could get better at. Inform parents that their child will be leading the conference. This will encourage parents to come! I post this on Seesaw the day before conferences. ENCOURAGE parents to ask questions of their child. This opens up discussion on success and areas for improvement. Want these documents? They're right here! Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to collaborate! Thanks, Andrea @mrsbirzer

I was working on a self evaluation sheet to give to students, and thought that I might share it here with everyone. The purpose of this sheet is to help students notice different elements in their learning. It's focus is on the 4 macro-skills, grammar, vocabulary, and conversation strategies. The main parts to the worksheet are as follows: (i) Orientation: Marks the lesson completed and the grammar focus (you can change the focus if you like). (ii) New Vocabulary: Gives students a chance to write down new vocabulary items for further study and review. (iii) Understanding My Learning: Gives a list of learning areas for students to contemplate and give a score on how they feel they went. (iv) Reflection: Gives students a chance to have an overview, but also plan for future learning. I have put a link to both pdf and word files. Feel free to alter the document to meet the needs of your classes. I just ask, that you consider leaving a comment to tell me how the sheet worked for you. The evaluation form gives the scaffolding for reflective learning. Students can use this form to collect data on their feelings toward lesson performance. It also enables them to orientate their learning toward areas they truly have difficulty with, therefore maximizing their learning time. This gives a certain amount of autonomy over learning, as they can use this information to create personalized learning goals. The data from this form can also be used to create graphical representations that illustrate their learning. Doing this can enhance intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, as students can see their progress clearly... What does the research show about self evaluation? See the following link...

I use this to have students self-grade once each term for participation. It is a 100 point participation rubric - but LETTERS are used instead of points. It could be easily edited for points. This is a MSWord document so it can be edited to tailor it to your classroom needs. It now includes corresponding pictures (for each rubric box) as well as a standard about appropriate use of technology. I usually have students SELF-EVALUATE right on this paper, then write me a letter on the back (blank) about why they assigned themselves that particular grade. Typically they are harder on themselves than I would be :) so I adjust, write back to them, and turn it back!

I've just uploaded a new kit to Teachers Pay Teachers. Marzano {Kid-Friendly} Rating Scales. This bright 14-page kit includes 2 separate sets of scales to display in your classroom. One set has a four-point scale (4, 3, 2, and 1). The second set has a five-point scale (4, 3, 2, 1, and 0). Choose the set that fits the requirements of your school or the needs of your class. You can display the scale on your wall, bulletin board, whiteboard, etc. I post mine right on my whiteboard because we use them so often. The scales are kid-friendly and use hand symbols to represent the numbers on the scale. This kit is also available in Primary Colors: Individual student scales are also included in this kit! These work great with clothes pins or other clips. 4-point Individual Scale 5-Point Individual Scale These are GREAT for OBSERVATIONS to show reflecting on learning! These personal scales are the perfect size to keep at a student’s desk or table. The individual student scales are printed 4 to a page. Print, cut, and laminate enough scales so that each student will have one. When students are asked to measure or reflect on learning, they will clip the clothes pin to their number. There are times when I ask students to show me their number quickly by holding up their actual hand in class. However, there are times when I want students to keep working or remain silent so I will have them use this scale. It is also gives students a way to show me their number privately, without the rest of the class knowing. I have found students are more likely to give an honest answer this way.
