Conferences...a general agenda

For each conference, we have about 25 minutes to cover much ground. Here is the general agenda for conferences:

Framework for Middle School
Independent Learning Plan---year long goals, interests and passions
Independent Learning Projects
Rubrics...are they working for you?
Reports...any major issues of concern/celebration
Advising Community/participation
Volunteer Sign-ups
Permission forms: transportation, off-campus, movies
Campaign
Issues in advising


You will notice that any major issues will be addressed towards the end. Most folks have called, emailed, made appointments or just dropped by to discuss issues and concerns. This is the ideal so we are not rushed and so we can focus on your concerns and ideas. If you have major issues, then we can schedule a follow-up conference if needed. Our conference with be focused on the student and on a few "must do" schoolwide things--time for other things may need to happen outside of the 25 minute conference.

Thanks,
