Student-teacher conferencing is a responsive instructional strategy that can support academic talent development and help students strengthen critical psychosocial skills. In this session, we discuss research that supports student-teacher conferencing, present two flexible approaches to structuring classroom conferences, and identify practical considerations educators can think through as they implement or refine the academic and psychosocial conferencing process in their classrooms.
Learning Objectives:
Examine the research evidence supporting one-on-one and small group teacher-student conferencing as a strategy to develop academic talent and critical psychosocial skills.
Explore two possible approaches for implementing student-teacher conferencing into classroom instruction across content areas and grade levels.
Discuss the practical considerations (e.g., classroom management, time management, relationship building) that need to be addressed for effective student-teacher conferences in the classroom.
