41. NW Education Magazine Fall 1996 - Caity S Conference Utz recalls with distaste the parentteacher conferences she held at another school.During the conferences, she sat at her desk with a stack of report http://www.nwrel.org/nwedu/fall_96/article4.html

WHEN ROBIN AND STEPHEN KILEY met with their daughter's second-grade teacher in February to discuss her progress at Willamette Primary School, a fourth person was in the room: their daughter Caity. In fact, Caity did most of the talking. She read her parents the fable she'd written, Cat and Dog Are Best Friends , and explained the steps she'd taken—rough draft, peer editing, rewriting, and illustrating—to complete it. She demonstrated addition, subtraction, and early multiplication processes by coloring in squares on grid paper. She showed a graph she'd done of temperatures in cities around the country. She expressed pride in attaining goals she'd set earlier in the year—learning to read "chapter books" and keeping her desk more organized and her work neater. For Caity and her parents, who recently moved to Oregon's West Linn-Wilsonville School District from the Midwest, this was their first student-led parent conference, a schoolwide practice that starts in kindergarten. Student-led conferences are a natural outgrowth of the school's commitment to giving students "choices and voice" in classroom management and instruction, says Gail Aldridge, Willamette Primary's instructional coordinator. "Night and day" is the way Robin Kiley describes the contrast between the traditional parent-teacher conferences she was used to and the student-directed conference. At Caity's former school, she says, conferences emphasized how students stacked up against each other and against grade-level norms. They stressed deficits instead of accomplishments. At Willamette, on the other hand, the conference was individualized, solution oriented, and informative.

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 conference [not at the beginning], when a teacher agrees, for instance, with the parents's initial description of their child as talkative, there will be more support forthcoming, than when the teacher begins the conference with, Your child talks too much.' First, it is good to know and discuss the students' work and grade. These are the areas that most parents are concerned with. Next, they are concerned with behavior. When behavior is discussed after other issues, a clearer communication can result. When behavior issues are discussed first, other issues may become clouded with emotions held by all concerned. Then the student's work and grade may not as be as clearly perceived as they might have been.

Parent Conferences Tips for more successful parent conferences Communicating with parents is one of the most important things we do as teachers. 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 one of the most helpful techniques in a teacher's "bag of tricks," we also know that sometimes they can be a discouraging waste of timeor even turn into ugly confrontations. Here are some tips to help make 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. (Of course, remember that both mother and father may not be available. Many children live in single-parent homes. And, even with two parents, both parents often work outside the home. So be careful not to unwittingly hurt a child's feelings by assuming the availability of parents based on a father-at-work and mother-at home family.)

Special Themes School Administrators Article SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ARTICLE Student-Led Conferences: A Growing Trend For years parent-teacher conferences have been the primary means of parent-teacher communication. But now, many schools are trying something new student-led conferences that communicate not only how a student's doing but also why. Parent-teacher conferences we all know how they go. Parents troop into classrooms to talk with teachers about their children's progress in school. Often, the process feels rushed, and parents leave feeling vaguely dissatisfied, as if they didn't really get what they came for. For years that process has been the norm, but now it is changing. In more and more schools, students are leading conferences, and, overall, the word is that they're doing a fine job. Many teachers themselves speak enthusiastically of the advantages of student-led conferences over teacher-led ones. "We found the [student-led] conferences most beneficial," said Keith Eddinger of the Marcus Whitman Middle School in Rushville, New York. "From a teacher's perspective, we were able to get a better picture of each child. It forced us to sit down with each student and review strengths and weaknesses. This conversation often told us the students learned more than perhaps we had measured through conventional assessments."

Changes in the Ways Teachers Report to Parents About Children's Performance Two of the major emphases of contemporary early childhood education are involvement of parents and collaboration between school and family. Effective communication with parents is of paramount importance in promoting the learning and development of young children. Recognizing that traditional report cards with letters or other symbols representing levels of children's progress provide very limited information to parents, teachers of young childrenespecially at preschool and kindergarten levelstraditionally have relied on teacher-parent conferences to enhance communication. Such conferences may be the primary means of teacher-parent communication about the child or may be supplementary to written reports. As school improvement processes have progressed, schools have adopted strategies to expand and clarify the information that teachers share with parents. The Primary Program: Growing and Learning in the Heartland "Informal dialogue; newsletters, e.g., 'This week we studied . . . .'; telephone calls; notes to parents; sending home samples of children's work; sharing children's self-evaluations; home visits by the teacher and classroom visits by the parents; conferences, report cards; and portfolios." (p. 45)

Print View Get ready for parent conferences When Karen Newton prepares for parent/teacher conferences with her son's teacher at Eastern Heights Elementary School, she knows that her homework as a parent started many weeks before. "I try to keep in contact with my son's teacher from the very beginning of the school year so there aren't any surprises at conferences," Newton said. Being prepared for conferences helps parents get the most out of these important meetings with teachers. Following up with action after the conference is important, too. "During my conference, I am always sure to ask what I can do to help my child do better in school," Newton said. "The teacher often gives me good ideas of things we can do at home to support classroom learning." As students reach the junior high and senior high grades, it sometimes becomes more difficult to get parents to attend conferences. "Our school puts a lot of effort into making sure parents attend conferences at school, because we feel that the partnership between parents and teachers is key to the students success in school," said Mary Williams, principal at Humboldt Junior High School. Humboldt Junior High sends conference announcements to parents in three languages and school staff members call every parent in the parent's own language. The school also offers guides to help parents find their way through the school, child care for the parents younger children and refreshments.

Working Together Home and school-everyone shares the goal of helping children learn and feel successful. Research has proven that when parents and teachers work together, everyone benefits: students tend to earn higher grades, perform better on tests, attend school more regularly, have better behavior, and show more positive attitudes toward themselves and toward school. School programs that include strong parent involvement are more effective! Yet, collaboration between parents and teachers is not always a smooth process. Parent involvement in children's education goes beyond contributing cookies to class parties or attending PTA meetings. To be effective, parent involvement has to be a partnership between the family and the school to assure that children are learning to the best of their ability, that they feel safe and supported, and that their parents feel well informed and involved in making decisions that affect their child's school experience. At the same time, a strong home-school partnership means teachers perceive that parents are concerned about their children's education and promote positive attitudes toward school and learning.
