C4T Summary #1

So in my 1st C4T summary, I read about a somewhat newer program called "student led conferences" where parents can come and watch their child give a presentation on their learning and what they like about it, which then shows the  teacher and parents where the child's interest is and what the child enjoys, as well as what he/she should work on and the weak areas that may be present! 
Such a cool concept! There were some parents that preferred the old fashion method of teacher/parent conference without the student, I guess to get in deep conversation with the teacher without any interruptions from the child and handle it on an adult level. But for the most part I think this new program was a hit and successfully carried out the purpose it was intended for. 
I thoroughly enjoyed reading on this topic and I love this new method! When I'm a parent I believe I'd much rather hear what my child has to say than solely go off of what the teacher says. Then if I have any further questions or concerns I will take the necessary preparations or precautions to fix the situation. So I'm all for it and all about the student led conferences! That pretty much sums up what my comment said to Ms. Cassidy!
