Conferences create an environment of free exchange among all three components of a team. Unfortunately, in the secondary setting, conferences typically convene when there is a problem to solve, and the role of the classroom teacher becomes crucial.

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 Read More Go to Site

		Green Bay Education Association - Teacher Tips ^Votes:0 Managing Conflict How you respond to the initial phase of conflict can mean the difference between a quick resolution and protracted warfare -- the choice is yours! 1. When attacked, do not respond in kind! The attack is often not at "you," but at what you represent to that person at the moment. Attacks are inevitably the result of feeling attacked or threatened. In other words, what they perceived you have done is seen as a threat to them or something they hold dear. 2. Acknowledge their hurt. 3. Speak lower and slower until things calm down. It is very difficult to maintain anger when it is not being returned. 4. Be patient. It takes time to lower the emotions of the moment. Give them the time that they need to cool off.

		Opening The Parent-Teacher Conference Door To The Students ^Votes:0 Continuous Improvement Article Opening The Parent-Teacher Conference Door To The Students - A Meaningful Learning Experience By Nancy Caldwell-Korpela A few weeks ago my husband and I attended and participated in our oldest son, Nick's, parent-teacher conference. Our son is currently in second grade and up to this point had not accompanied us to these meetings, mainly I suspect, because no one asked him. Upon returning home from each of the conferences, we were pumped for details as to what his teacher had to show and say. He wanted no tidbit of information that was discussed to be left untold. It always left my husband and I feeling awkward and uncomfortable, as if we (his teachers and ourselves) were circumventing the key 'assessor', our son, and withholding information from the student Read More Go to Site

		Parent Teacher Conference ^Votes:0 The English Teacher Parent Teacher Conferences Conducting the Conference In conducting a parent teacher conference, the following steps may be helpful to consider. Of course when the parent[s] come in for conference, they should be greeted with a smile and a handshake. Then when the parents sit down for the conference, I have found it very useful to begin by asking parent[s] to tell me what words first come to their minds when they think of their children. Listen to these words, and the feelings connected to them very carefully. Then when a teacher and parents are in agreement with the assessment, these key individual characteristics can be discussed more easily. In recent conferences that I attended, I found that the parents and I were in total agreement over 90% of the time. Later in the Read More Go to Site

This means of communication is valuable and effective. Most people can express themselves more completely and openly in person because misunderstandings and misconceptions can be more quickly clarified in face-to-face meetings by asking follow-up questions and elaborating on specific points. In many cases, the parents of students who might most benefit from a conference are the ones who do not attend. Reasons why parents do not attend conferences are many.

		PREPARING FOR A PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE ^Votes:0 Back To Principal's Message PREPARING FOR A PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCE Not too long ago the parent-teacher conference was essentially a one-sided affair. The teacher did all the talking and the parent did all the listening. After all, the typical parent had no training in curriculum or instruction; what could he or she say that would have any bearing on life in the classroom? Well, the truth is that parents have plenty to say -- and the parent-teacher conferences of today reflect that new understanding. As a parent, you know better than anyone else what moves, frustrates, excites, pleases, concerns your child. You have the insight into what makes your child special. And knowing what's special about a child is the key to good teaching. It allows the teacher to reach and connect with each chi Read More Go to Site
