Student Led Conference

The things I enjoyed most about my SLC were: Getting great feedback and reaction from my dad. What went well and why? Showing him my test result and what it means because i was a bit hesitant about mucking up. What were the challenges you faced when preparing and presenting your SLC? Because i'm new I had to delete some slides and think up a way to make specific slides work and still sound professional at the same time. What changes would you make for next time and why? Make the Whole thing a bit longer because i finished it early and had to give my dad a tour of my class to kill time.
