  • To implement the buddy system, instruct pairs of students to stick together throughout the entire conference.
    • This way, pairs of students are responsible for one another’s safety at all times.
  • Make an announcement in which you point out students in your group who have already attended a similar conference so that less experienced students know which peers to ask for help.
