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.

Dear iLEAD AV Exploration Families,

With gratitude,

Terri Budke
Director of North LA County Exploration

Dear iLEAD AV Exploration Families,

We loved seeing all our learners who participated in our in-person Presentation of Learning Thursday evening. What a creative group of children! We were quite impressed with their final presentations. Great job, iLEAD AV Exploration!

Our Partners in Parenting support group began last week and will be held every Tuesday at 9:15-10:15 AM. We had a nice turnout, and the response was very positive. If you weren’t able to join or you forgot, please join this week, Tuesday, February 21, in our Curriculum Library.

Sadly, the Cat House field trip that was scheduled for this Thursday, February 23, has been canceled. The Cat House is closing, and they have been moving all the animals to other locations. Workshops will not be held on February 23 either. Please be sure to mark your calendars.

Lastly, please remember to complete your Intent to Return form for the 2023-24 school year. It was emailed to everyone via ParentSquare. Please let me know if you need me to resend it to you. If you have new learners joining us for next year, you can get their names on our list and learners will be selected by lottery. Register new (not currently enrolled) learners for 2023/24 here​.

Have a wonderful week!

With gratitude,

Terri Budke
Director of North LA County Exploration

If you have signed up for workshops, please remember the important changes we have made below:

Drop-off and pick-up will now take place in the front, main parking lot. You can pull up right outside the iLEAD AV Exploration side gate and an EF will be there to greet you and let the learners in. Please note that drop-off will be from 8:45-9:00 AM, and pick-up will be from 12:20-12:30 PM.

We will be holding separate workshops for 6th-8th graders only on Thursdays from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM. Please note that 6th-8th graders are still welcome to join the other workshops as well, in addition to the ones dedicated to them.

Please plan on having your child bring their school laptop to workshops. We will be using them each day during our Bookshark/Academic portion of our day. Learners will have the opportunity to log into Reading Eggs to work on individualized skills. Make sure your child knows how to log in to their computer with their username and password, or leave a Post-It with their info for us to help them.

Thank you for joining us last Thursday evening to celebrate National School Choice Week at Family Appreciation Night! Thank you for partnering with us and entrusting your learners’ education with us. It is an honor to be a part of your lives.
