Seminar Time
I commend you for the steps you have taken to get information out to students concerning Student Led Conferences (SLC). Melissa and I have started to get around to classrooms this week to answer questions. I know you have received some negative feedback from students and I will do my best to shoulder the most of it when I visit your seminar class. Hopefully I can answer any serious questions that students may have and help provide focus for this to be successful.
A reminder to everyone on what I hope to see when I visit seminar classes. My vision is that I will witness teachers and staff milling around the room and interacting with students, looking at grades and reminding them of missing assignments. I hope students are completing homework, working on SLC items, studying for upcoming quizzes/tests, completing interventions for reading/math, Career Exploration, teacher/student interview/reflection of Career Interests or reading.
What I am hoping I don't see is constant, wide-spread casual conversations, with little to no academic/career exploration work being completed.
