At Intrinsic Schools, we are committed to preparing all students for postsecondary success and world-changing endeavors. One of the core practices we use to put students on this path is the EPIC Student-Led Conference, an innovative version of an already effective practice.

Our EPIC Student-Led Conferences support our students in developing a strong identity and building a clear and compelling personal narrative to present to the world, all while developing the habits and skills critical to postsecondary success. We feel like this person-first approach is key to our students’ long-term success and we’re committed to helping other schools do the same for their students.

We’ve created this resource toolkit to help your school community transform the way you approach student conferences. Our hope is that this resource center, in addition to our direct coaching and support, facilitates impactful and lasting change in your school community.

The toolkit is organized into four sections: 1) Overview materials for you to explore the EPIC Student-Led Conference model and why it works, 2) training documents to help you plan for implementation, 3) all the resources your students (and teachers) will need to lead conferences, and 4) feedback tools to learn and improve through each round of conferences.
