The Pressure Is Mounting
US Department Of Education: (Career and College Ready Standards)
It's critical that, collectively, we raise the bar so that every student in this country—regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or geographic location—is held to high learning standards that will ensure students have the skills to compete in today's global, knowledge-based economy.
Common Core State Standards:
CCSS provide clear and consistent learning goals to help prepare students for college, career, and life.
![Page 5: Tauni Hatfield/Technology Teacher Bridget Piper/Guidance Counselor Kelso School District Kelso, Washington Students Use Google and Career Lessons to Create](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d345503460f94a0adda/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Still More Pressure:
American School Counselor Association (ASCA): A professional school counselor takes a “proactive role in assisting students,
families and staff as they assess student strengths and interests and encourage the selection of a rigorous and relevant educational program supporting all students’ college and career goals.”
A professional school counselor helps students to develop a portfolio to highlight strengths and interests.
Teacher/Principal Evaluation Project (TPEP):o Learning Environment: The teacher fosters and manages a safe and
inclusive learning environment that takes into account: physical, emotional, and intellectual well-being of students.
o Differentiation: The teacher acquires and uses specific knowledge about students’ cultural, individual, intellectual and social development and uses that knowledge to adjust their practice by employing strategies that advance student learning.

Why We Switched to Student Led Conferences
![Page 13: Tauni Hatfield/Technology Teacher Bridget Piper/Guidance Counselor Kelso School District Kelso, Washington Students Use Google and Career Lessons to Create](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d345503460f94a0adda/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Transitioning from
Arena Style to
Student Led Conferences
A committee in our district was formed to review Navigation 101 curriculum that was being used by numerous districts throughout the state of Washington.(Developed by the Franklin Pierce School District in Washington State.)
The Navigation 101 program is part of a guidance and counseling program “best practice”.
As reflected in the American School Counselor Association‘s (ASCA‘s) National Model for Comprehensive School Counseling Programs (CSCP),
![Page 14: Tauni Hatfield/Technology Teacher Bridget Piper/Guidance Counselor Kelso School District Kelso, Washington Students Use Google and Career Lessons to Create](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d345503460f94a0adda/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Presenting the Information Back to the Staff
You want me to do WHAT?
I have t0o much work to do already!
Students will not care anyway and arena style has always worked here. Why change it?
![Page 17: Tauni Hatfield/Technology Teacher Bridget Piper/Guidance Counselor Kelso School District Kelso, Washington Students Use Google and Career Lessons to Create](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d345503460f94a0adda/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Staff Buy-In
Trying to build consensus within our building.
Planning for the next school year.
After professional development centered around student led conferences, our staff came to an agreement of what they were willing to do the next school year.
Take their 4th period class to Tauni for a week to set up the electronic portfolios.
Three lessons to prepare students for SLC.
Help students to identify their best work.
Check their 1st period’s portfolios for completeness and refer students who are not finished down to the counseling office.
![Page 18: Tauni Hatfield/Technology Teacher Bridget Piper/Guidance Counselor Kelso School District Kelso, Washington Students Use Google and Career Lessons to Create](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d345503460f94a0adda/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Once Consensus was Made the Real Work Began
Calendar for conferences had to be adopted by board to allow more time for student led conferences.
Create a schedule to prepare students school wide for conferences outside the three classroom lessons.
Counselors gathered Career and College readiness lessons together to teach in social studies classes that would help with portfolio creation.
Tauni volunteered to see if we could create paperless portfolios.
![Page 20: Tauni Hatfield/Technology Teacher Bridget Piper/Guidance Counselor Kelso School District Kelso, Washington Students Use Google and Career Lessons to Create](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d345503460f94a0adda/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
We Were Building the Plane as We Were Flying
Everything was so new and we were adapting everything to meet the needs of our middle school students.
Plans needed to be made and details ironed out.Portfolios created and decisions on what to put
into portfolios.Student logins and passwords created.Career Guidance Lessons adapted.Collaboration with our neighboring middle
school. Training the staff and students.

Our Portfolios Take on a Life of Their Own
“Hey Tauni do we have to use paper portfolios?”
“Can we have electronic portfolios?”
Over the process of a summer, Tauni took a question and turned it into an amazing resource for students to use and make their own.

Best Work Defined
Students are required to have a “Best Work” from each core class and one from an elective class of their choice.
“Best Work” can be scanned, a picture of work, or a video.
Students are trained to use their handheld devices to take pictures and upload to their Google Drive account.
Students decide what constitutes their “Best Work”.Teachers will remind students when they have created
something that could be a “Best Work”. (BW)Students all have a file folder in the counseling office
that they can put their “Best Work” until they get a chance to upload to their drive.

PART 2ORGANIZING SLC
How
![Page 39: Tauni Hatfield/Technology Teacher Bridget Piper/Guidance Counselor Kelso School District Kelso, Washington Students Use Google and Career Lessons to Create](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d345503460f94a0adda/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Organizing for the Student Led Conferences
When to hold? Match time to purpose. – Fall: Goal setting for the year (first year we knew we could not accomplish a Fall conference)
– Spring: culmination of year - future plans
Decide on overall organizational plan. – By individual teacher – By team – School-wide
How will Elective/PE teachers be involved? Options: – Conference Facilitators – Set up for Demos – Drop-ins
-- Each Teacher in our building had 19 conference students
![Page 40: Tauni Hatfield/Technology Teacher Bridget Piper/Guidance Counselor Kelso School District Kelso, Washington Students Use Google and Career Lessons to Create](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d345503460f94a0adda/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
How Student-Led Conferences Were Organized
Each SLC advisor was listed on a students schedule in Skyward (our student management system).
Parents scheduled the conferences electronically through Skyward or with the office staff.
Student-led conferences lasted 20 minutes.There were two conferences per hour.
Ten minutes allotted at the end of each conference for transition time with intercom announcements.
Secretary announced the end of conferences and helped with transition time.
![Page 41: Tauni Hatfield/Technology Teacher Bridget Piper/Guidance Counselor Kelso School District Kelso, Washington Students Use Google and Career Lessons to Create](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110207/56649d345503460f94a0adda/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
SLC
Director of Student Services: Worked with school board and superintendent to get support for SLC, compiled a video for teacher lesson, and helped communicate to families about upcoming student led conferences.

A Not So Great Conference
Lack of preparation and effort will show.
An incomplete portfolio will make it hard to find things to talk about.
The success of the conference is up to the student (not the teacher).
On The Flip Side They Know…

What Teachers Said:
“I love student led!!! More time to connect with parents and show our students off!!!”
“SLC is better than the arena style. I think it is good for the students and the parents and really far more informative.”
“I love student-led conferences because it takes the focus off the teacher and puts it on the student.”
“I like the student led portfolios because it gives the students time to explain what they have been working on and what they have been doing or not doing. I also think the parents like having a set time they are there for.”

What Parents Said:
“Even with taking this survey, I was here a total of 30 minutes. I liked that the student is more involved and had to take responsibility ;) Much more quiet and I felt more was accomplished. Love the new system. Please consider keeping it!!!”
“I LOVE THE STUDENT LED CONFERENCE.” It definitely gives the children a leg up in public speaking and also holds them accountable for their progress. I liked hearing the children describe their progress in their own words and liked hearing what they thought they could do to actualize their goals. Having them write it down makes it twice as likely to succeed.”
“No lines!! YAY! And my son presenting his work gives him something more to be proud of and helps boost confidence.”

Challenges
Some teachers, parents, and students prefer traditional style conference.
Communicating SLC information to all stake holders.
Paradigm shift.Not every staff member had the same buy-in. (J.K.)
Time to prepare the students for conferences.Getting Best Works into Google Drive.Ensuring all students completed their portfolio.

Recommendations
Ensure you have team members willing to give 110% to see the success of the SLC and electronic portfolios.
Create a conference format that showcases and empowers students, while allowing parents to have academic concerns addressed by content teacher (possibly schedule a short time after conferences to meet with content teachers).
Possibly start with one grade level then role up to include the next grade level the following year.
