Approaches to Parent-Teacher Conferences The Parent's Perspective The National PTA interviewed parents and asked them to talk frankly about conferences. These points are especially important because they come from parents. They want educators to do the following: Help them to feel comfortable at the meeting. School can stir up unhappy memories for some adults. Be flexible about the meeting time and tell them how long it will last. Know their child's strengths and weaknesses. Understand that they have deep feelings about their own child, even though there are many other students in the class. (Also remember that some children may not have a parent willing to do anything for them.) Be well prepared, and give them specific examples of their child's progress.

Misunderstandings are less common if both parents hear what you have to say, and you'll be able to gauge the kind of support both parents give the child. (Of course, remember that both mother and father may not be available. Today, when some 60 percent of adult women work outside the home, it may not always be the mother who's available to meet. And many children come from single-parent homes; you could unwittingly hurt a child's feelings by always asking to meet the "mother.") Make contact early. You'll get your relationship with parents off to a good start if you contact them early in the year, perhaps with a memo or newsletter sent home to all pupils. Give parents an outline of what their children will be studying, and let them know you'll be happy to meet with them during the year. (Be sure to say how and when they may contact you for conferences.) Allow enough time.

Our Homeschooling Approach The Parent-Teacher Conference (A humourous look at "schoolish" expectations and homeschooling) With gratitude to Gina Rozon, homeschooling mom in La Ronge Saskatchewan, for the idea which inspired this essay. Other Tidbits Our Approach to Homeschooling It's parent-teacher conference time at the schools, so I figured I'd take some time this morning for the same ritual myself. While the kids were happily engaged in building complicated designs with the wooden train track, I sneaked off to the bathroom to have a chat with myself in the mirror. I entered the bathroom with some trepidation. All parents are a little nervous, I guess, about what the teacher will say. We always fear any negative comments, yet we really want the answer to that big question "how is my child doing?" Fortunately my kids have the same teacher, so I was able to streamline my interview a little. At school I would have a fifteen-minute conference for each child, but I figured twenty minutes was probably just about right for a combined conference dealing with both of them. "Hello," said the teacher. "Come on in. You're Erin and Noah's mom?"

They need to tell you about your child's school progress in a very short time, they don't know what questions you'll have, and their next parents may be waiting in the hall. Also remember that what you have to say is just as important as what the teacher says. The purpose of the conference is to SHARE information about your child so that the teacher can do his or her best job of teaching. You know your child's personality best, so plan to tell a little about your child's strengths, talents and interests. You know what would make your child feel motivated to work hard. This is information you'll need to share. To make the best use of your short conference time, prepare ahead.

HOME ABOUT DSEA TEACHING TIPS TRAINING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ... Writing Essays And Compositions Tips for Parent Conferences Communicating with parents is one of the most important things we do as educators. When we can work together with a child's parents toward common goals, we improve the atmosphere for learning. Most successful teacher-parent "teams" begin with a conference, usually one conducted before there's a real need to meet. Of course, while parent conferences can be most helpful, we also know that sometimes they can be a discouraging waste of time -or even turn into ugly confrontations. Here are some tips to help make all your parent conferences productive and successful: Invite both parents. Encourage both parents to attend conferences when possible. Misunderstandings are less common if both parents hear what you have to say, and you'll be able to gauge the kind of support both parents give the child. It is also critical to remember that both mother and father may not be available; that many children come from single-parent homes; or homes where grandparents are raising the children.

98. Parent Conferences Teachers will request a conference with a student’s parents as needed during theschool year. Please feel free to request a conference when you feel a need. http://www.ci.maryville.tn.us/mis/parstud/parent_conferences.htm

We encourage open and direct lines of communication between teachers and parents. Teachers will request a conference with a student’s parents as needed during the school year. Please feel free to request a conference when you feel a need. We highly encourage parents to first contact a student’s teacher with a concern. If a satisfactory outcome is not reached, the parent or teacher may refer the concern to the school counselor or the administration. Conferences cannot be held during the student’s school day unless scheduled in advance. Teachers have a responsibility for their class and cannot stop unexpectedly for a drop-in conference or visit. Call the school office or send a note to the teacher to make an appointment when you need a conference. This page last Updated: 11/10/2003 05:37:51 PM
