Student-led Conferences

Today has been very interesting so far. My fifth of 23 students is in the classroom right now, showing her learning portfolio to her mom. What is my role as teacher, you ask? Basically, I hang out at my desk, writing blogs, checking emails, planning for the weeks to come, facebooking (yes I admit!) until I am signaled over by the student, whereupon they summarize what they have discussed and I tell them how great they are. My role in the whole conference lasts about 10 minutes of the 45 allotted per student.
I wonder if the rest of the day will be this relaxing...
