Plan+for+Monitoring+Success

This implementation process heavily relies on the communication of the teacher team piloting the student-led conferences. To help monitor the success of the implementation, the team must ensure that the following things happen:


 * A team meeting needs to occur during the administration days at the start of the school year. At this time the team will discuss and revise anything needed in the implementation process.


 * The team should meet weekly for the month of September to discuss the development of the portfolios. Meetings can then move to biweekly once the team sees fit.


 * The team should put together a short presentation for monthly staff meetings to communicate with staff the progress of the implementation. Communication with parents is key to the success of this implementation. The team, in collaboration with administration, should include information on student-led conferences to the school’s website, the monthly newsletter, and on [|www.esterhazyonline.com].


 * In the past years, the school has kept track of parent attendance at parent-teacher interviews. It is important to continue to do this to be able to compare the data.


 * The team will need to compile the data collected from the post-conference student reflections and evaluations, teacher reflection surveys, and parent questionnaires and surveys.
