Come prepared

• 1Before your conference, draft your 2–3 goals. Your teacher shouldn't be the one prompting you to come up with them — arrive with answers ready.
• 2Think through: What do you want to get out of this placement? What skill do you most want to improve? What would make this semester feel worth it?
• 3Come with any questions or concerns too. What are you nervous about? What's still unclear? This is the place to name it — not Day 1 at your placement.

What we do in class

• 15–10 minute one-on-one with your teacher — not a check-in, a real conversation about your placement and what you want from it
• 2Set 2–3 goals for your semester: specific, achievable, and tied to what you actually care about
• 3Review the time log and reflection process one more time — everyone does a test submission so there are no surprises

While you wait for your conference

• 1Conferences run 1–2 full class days. When you're not in the chair, you'll get started on the first in-depth employability skill lesson or continue refining your elevator pitch for the capstone.
