Student-led conferences TLLP #ICANyet



As part of our TLLP journey, we are exploring student-led conferences and digital portfolios with a focus on growth mindset and self-regulation.



What is a student-led conference?

In the process of our action-research, we gained valuable insight into ways in which to link technology to portfolios, with a focused effort on developing both personal and classroom climates of appreciation for individual growth, goal-setting and thoughtful self-reflection.  

We've also learned to better support our students to demonstrate a strong sense of pride, responsibility and empowerment over their learning.  As educators, we too continue to develop as life-long learners and leaders as we create and share our own professional portfolios, reflecting on our growth, weaknesses and learning acquired throughout the TLLP project. We have been actively researching how to assign work that matters, examples of excellence and how to build a culture of critique that requires multiple revisions and provides opportunities for public presentations.


We'd love to connect! Please also collaborate with us through our TLLP hashtag #ICANyet
