On Thursday, April 26th 2012, we had a SLC presentation. SLC stands for student led conference. At the end of the year all of us have to do a SLC conference. This presentation is led by the student who is presenting. Only the parents and the advisory teacher is there when we do this and only the middle schoool does the SLC conference, not the lower school. The lower school just has parent teacher conferences. For this day we have the whole day off. The SLC takes about 30 minutes each.
Weeks before the conference, we filled out a sheet about the strongest and weakest things. For me humanities and Spanish are difficult and the other subjects weren’t so hard. After we filled out the sheet we did a presentation. The teachers made a format for the presentation and we had to fill it out. Then when we finished, our advisor checked it over and we were ready to go.
My student teacher conference was at 8:30 to 9:00 and it went really well. I had things that went okay and things that went great. It was less scary then I thought, although the goal we had to make with our parents during the conference was funny. The goal was to eat more healthier and go to bed at 10 or earlier. I felt scared at first but then calm once it was over. When I was doing the conference my hands got all sweaty. I was terrified getting ready for it but once I did the conference I knew Joe had my back, so I was okay. It was a very positive experience! I am looking forward to the next SLC conference… well sort of…
