At iLEAD AV, we host Learner-Led Conferences (LLCs) to promote learner engagement, motivation, and achievement. LLCs take place March 17 and 23-24. These conferences create a purposeful way for learners to talk with adults about their learning and offer families a direct and active role in their child’s school life. These conferences are very important, as they allow for valuable conversation and reflection that you may not normally have each day.

What to Expect at Learner-Led Conferences

Learner-Led Conferences offer learners a real voice in the assessment of their learning and practice in speaking to their strengths. This will prepare them for the real-life experience of talking to potential employers. The LLC process is more of a performance than an evaluation; your learner will compile what they’ve been learning and present to you, the family member.

What Is the Role of the Family at an LLC?

Families play an important supportive role in this process. The focus of the conference is on learning and growth, not simply a show-and-tell display of work. It is a time for families to “sit beside” their children, listening to and trusting their children’s assessment of their own learning and asking good questions. Families may also work with their children to set new goals based on the discussion during the conference.

Your child’s facilitator will email you a sign-up sheet to make an appointment for the conference. We hope you will take advantage of this wonderful experience.

As part of our iLEAD Soaring Aeronautics Project, a glider will be on our campus on Thursday, March 23, from 8:30 AM-12:30 PM. All iLEAD AV learners will have a chance to visit the glider and talk with the pilots. Please see details in the flyer below.

At iLEAD AV, all grade-level admissions are done by public random lottery. Through the lottery, we fill open spots and then start creating a wait list. To be included in the lottery, you must fill out one iLEAD AV Enrollment Lottery Application per child.

Below is important additional information:

• Be sure to select either TK-8 AV Hybrid Studio or TK-8 AV Exploration (Home Study).
• You do not have to be present at the lottery for your child to receive a spot.
• After the lottery, we will notify families via email if their learners were selected.
• Transitional Kindergarten (TK) learners must turn five years between September 2 and April 2. Kindergarten learners must turn five on or before September 2.
• All interest forms received after the lottery are placed on the waitlist in the order received.
