When it comes to student-led conferences (called "Demonstrations of Learning"), while these are often dressed up under the guise of celebrating student success, it all-too-often focuses on the student's area of weakness. To have a time where success is truly celebrated is very important, and as teachers who are typically pushing our students toward improvement (rightfully so) we above all need to remember to stop and pat ourselves and our students on the back.
