ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC PARENT-TEACHER COMMUNICATION If children are experiencing problems at school, it is important for parents and teachers to share the responsibility for creating a working relationship that fosters children's learning and development. Teachers can encourage open communication by letting parents know when they are available and how they may be contacted, inviting parents to participate in classroom activities, and eliciting parents' concerns and interests prior to a scheduled conference. Parents can introduce themselves early in the school year, letting the teacher know when and how they can be reached and asking how they can begin to become involved in classroom and school activities. Open and frequent communication between parents and teachers helps to ensure that the issues raised in parent-teacher conferences do not catch anyone by surprise. Both parents and teachers benefit from being well prepared in advance of the meeting so that the meeting is less emotionally charged and takes place in a trusting atmosphere. Assuring parents of confidentiality also helps maintain trust. It may be helpful for both teachers and parents to keep in mind that for many parents, it is a fundamental part of the parenting role to be their child's strongest advocate (Katz, 1995).

Successful School Conferences Here's a growing collection of resources about parent-teacher, parent-team, and student-led school conferences. Middle School Student-Led Conference Guide (PDF File) Kentucky's Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence has posted a guide to student-led conferences developed by Louisville's Conway Middle School and the Jefferson County Public Schools. This compact PDF version includes all the text and forms in the original but eliminates photos and other items that make for lengthy download times. Includes sections about goals; what parents, teachers and students need to know; typical questions and answers about the process; and forms, including a teacher evaluation checklist, a student self-evaluation, and much more. Student-Led Conferences: Tips for Educators How to Run Successful Parent-Team Conferences "Only by forming an alliance can parents and teachers effectively work together to help students negotiate the treacherous path through the middle school years," writes education professor and former middle grades teacher Howard M.

Eyes cast downward and palms sweating, he's giving a report of his recent progress at Iroquois Middle School. "I know I talk too much in school," he says to his mother. "I wanted you to hear this from me first. Other than that, I got pretty good grades." Reading from his self-evaluation, Eric describes his goals: to do more independent reading, to become a veterinarian, to concentrate in class. Kent congratulates him for his candor and his willingness to see his positive and negative traits. Then she gently asks him a series of questions designed to draw him out. "You say you deserve an A in your (writing) portfolio, but you got a B," she says. After hesitating a moment, Eric admits that he has missed some assignment deadlines. "Why is that, Eric?" Kent asks.

Parent Teacher Conferences During Parent Conference Week schools try to facilitate parent involvement in student learning. We do this because we believe students whose families are involved with learning do better in school. A 1994 compilation of research called "The Family is Critical to Student Achievement" "(the) evidence is now beyond dispute. The most accurate predictor of a student's achievement in school is not income or social status, but the extent to which that student's family is able to: Create a home environment that encourages learning Express high (but not unrealistic) expectations for their children's achievement and future careers Become involved in their children's education at school and in the community." The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District along with the Fairbanks Education Association and the Fairbanks Council of PTAs is sponsoring the following list of suggested questions for Parent Conference Week. We want to encourage families to become more involved in learning and believe the following questions can promote successful conferences by improving two-way communication.

Site Map How to Handle Parent-Teacher Conferences Dr. Kenneth N. Condrell, Ph.D. School is a place where your child does a lot of growing up. And, as I'm sure every parent is aware, no child matures without making mistakes. So, where does a parent learn about a child's problems at school? Often, it's at the school's parent-teacher conferences. As the new school year approaches, I'd like to offer some valuable tips to guide you through parent-teacher conferences - that time-honored ritual between teacher and parent. Armed with these tips, you can enter parent-teacher conferences confident-and leave with the ability to help your child through any predicament. THE RIGHT ATTITUDE Long before parent-teacher conferences begin, you should know that in school your child is faced with many demands: sitting quietly for long periods of time. Coping with making mistakes and criticism from someone other than a parent. Working independently. Getting along with authority figures. Making friends, being organized and dealing with rejection. What I'm leading up to is this: a parent must enter conferences knowing that school is more than reading, writing and arithmetic. It's a piece of life. School challenges your child as a whole person, giving him the skills he'll rely on to run his life when he's older. All the while, your child's teacher is observing how your child deals with these demands. The teacher is in a unique position to observe your child's academic, emotional and social development. Take seriously anything he or she tells you.

You have a lot that you want to talk about, and a limited amount of time. The better prepared you are going in, the more beneficial the meeting will be for both you and the teacher. Here are some tips for a productive parent/teacher conference, along with a list of good questions for you to ask the teacher. Steps to take before the conference Schedule your appointment early If you're one of the first parents to sign up for a conference, you'll be more likely to get a time that works well for you and your partner. If possible, go to the conference together. This lets the teacher know that both of you are involved in your child's education. And you can compare notes on what you heard and talk over how to deal with the information when you get home. Ask your child how things are going at school Several days before the conference ask your child some very specific questions about school. What would he like you to ask the teacher? What does he like best about school? Are there any kids at school that he's having trouble getting along with? If he could change anything about school what would it be?

Dodge One of the greatest challenges facing church leaders today is building a team that helps children become high achievers, whether in school or in Sunday School. Parents, children, teachers, and other church leaders must work together to bring spiritual growth and lay foundations that lead to professions of faith as well as spiritual maturity. Connecting with parents about their children can be a real challenge for even the most seasoned children's leader. Sometimes we have to look for special ways to communicate with parents about their children.

Strategies for Successful Parent Conferences A period of high stress for all educators is Parent-Teacher conferences. There is nothing quite like teaching all day and then facing the parents of kids you've just been in mortal combat with for the past seven hours. Can we all say "splitting headache?" Most teachers start the meetings feeling tired and try their best to manage for the evening sessions. Some districts are starting to also provide a "day" session for parents because there are an increasing number of 2nd shift workers who are unable to make evening meetings. This has the advantage of letting the kids out of school for the day so teachers can rest up a little before the conferences. The first advice is a no brainer...get some rest. As simple as this sounds it cannot be overemphasized. How many of us are better at handling difficult situations when we are rested? My guess would be 100%. When you know you've got a difficult couple of days ahead, do yourself a favor and get some extra sleep. Not only will it make the parent-teacher conferences a lot more enjoyable in general but it will minimize the possibility of losing your cool with parents. When teachers (and people in general) are tired they are much more irritable and must less able to tolerate frustrating circumstances.
