Learner-Led Conferences: January 31

At iLEAD Antelope Valley Exploration, we host Learner-Led Conferences (LLCs) to promote learner engagement, motivation, and achievement. Our next LLCs are scheduled for January 31. These conferences create a purposeful way for learners to take ownership of their learning and to make meaningful connections with their families to support their academic and personal growth.

How LLCs Inspire Learners to Take Ownership of Their Learning

  • The learner prepares for the conference, which creates an authentic purpose for good organizational and communication skills.
  • The learner facilitates the meeting from start to finish.
  • The structure builds the learner’s sense of responsibility and accountability for their own learning.
  • The learner develops an understanding of what it means to meet learning targets and Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) goals.

What Is the Role of the Learner at an LLC?

  • To provide a detailed assessment of learning that has taken place through reflection.
  • To guide the parent/caregiver on a tour of their learning.

What Is the Role of the Parent/Caregiver at an LLC?

  • To attend the conference with the learner.
  • To listen attentively as the learner reviews work and progress toward ILP goals.
  • To ask questions, which fosters critical thinking and reflection as the learner reviews their work.
  • To write a note or letter to the child at the end of the conference.

What Is the Role of the Facilitator at an LLC?

  • To step back and ensure that the learner leads the conference.
  • To offer prompts as needed.

Your child’s facilitator will be in touch to ask you to make an appointment for the conference. We hope you will take advantage of this wonderful experience to support your child’s lifelong learning journey.

Schoolwide Learner Outcomes: Lifelong Learners

Happy New Year! Time to brush up on our iLEAD Schoolwide Learner Outcomes.

At iLEAD, we believe that education should extend beyond traditional academic knowledge. Our purposeful approach revolves around the iLEAD Schoolwide Learner Outcomes, a collective vision that encapsulates our aspirations for each individual’s education.

The iLEAD Schoolwide Learner Outcomes serve as our compass, guiding us in shaping each child’s educational journey.

In the course of a child’s career with iLEAD Schools, our learners will engage with a relevant and rigorous curriculum that will prepare them for success personally and professionally.

The following are the expected Schoolwide Learner Outcomes that our learners develop:

iLEAD by being a/an…

Lifelong Learner

I am a self-directed learner, focused on personal growth and development.

Empathetic Citizen

I seek to understand and appreciate what others are thinking, feeling, or experiencing.

Authentic Individual

I am true to myself, my personality, values, beliefs, and principles.

Design Thinker

I am a creative, imaginative individual who explores original ideas, takes risks, and develops innovative solutions that I share with others.

Our January focus is Lifelong Learners. This article has several tips to help you cultivate a love for learning in your child:  “Nurturing Lifelong Learners: Cultivating a Love for Learning in Your Child.”

iLEAD AV Exploration iSUPPORT January 2025 Meeting

What is iSUPPORT?

A community of family volunteers who support our school. We may call on iSUPPORT members to volunteer in the classroom, help with curriculum collection and checkouts, assist with family events, be a welcoming committee to new families, advertise for us by word of mouth in the community, assist on field trips, be a resource to new homeschool families, or help with planning of special events. iSUPPORT also helps to keep families updated on what is taking place within our iLEAD AV Exploration family. It is a great way to connect with each other. We value our volunteers!
