Introduction Before the conference During the conference About the author ... Related articles Introduction Parent-teacher conferences are an opportunity to establish better communication between parents and teachers. Since children are different at home and in school, both the parent and the teacher gain in understanding the child and can, therefore, be more effective in helping him or her. The teacher may be very surprised to learn that what she thought was a humorous way of dealing with the child was actually making the child feel belittled. The parent may learn that the teacher feels the child is not giving school his best effort. The teacher may learn that the child is distracted because the family is going through a difficult time. Of course, many parents are pleasantly surprised to hear how much better behaved the child is in school than at home. Back to top.

As a parent, you anxiously await the arrival of your child's report card, and instead, you get a notice requesting that you attend a parent-teacher conference. As part of the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory's (SEDL's) ongoing effort to help parents become meaningfully engaged in their children's learning, SEDL offers tips for parents on how to prepare for and participate in a parent-teacher conference. Parent-teacher conferences often create concern for parents, especially when the conference ends up being a session where parents spend most of the time listening to reports about their child's conduct and class work. "Although it is a perfect opportunity to have a two-way dialogue between the parent and teacher, quite often a conference becomes a one-way discussion, and a tense one at that," says Fred Estrello, Parent Involvement Programs Specialist for the Austin Independent School District's Family Resource Center. Parents, as well as teachers, can benefit from preparing for the meeting. Parents can write questions about their child's learning experiences such as:

UCB Parents Advice Parent/Teacher Conferences Advice and recommendations from the UCB Parents mailing list. This page is brought to you by UC Berkeley Parents Network Back to: Advice about School Teacher's Advice Promts Defensive Reaction Aug 1999 My daughter has had difficulties in daycare since she was 2 years old. She is very bright and active, but she has social difficulties with other children at times and acts impulsively/ inappropriately. She is now 4.5 and attends a quality child care program. I always try to limit her hours to 6.5 or so per day and spend special days with her as well. She takes a break from child care each summer. She doesn't act out (or exhibit obvious social blunders) when I take her to parks, nor when she has friends over, aside from the typical squabble over a toy. Whenever her teachers give me recommendations, I get emotional and take it personally. For example, they tell me we should see a family therapist, take her to ADHD Specialty Camps or that we need to work with her more on social empathy at home. I want to cooperate and work with the teachers to the ultimate goal of my child having a positive and successful experience at preschool, but I always feel that they are blaming me as a parent and I get incredibly defensive. School just started for the semester and already I am in tears over discussion with her teacher. He said that my daughter offends other children and they don't want to be friends with her, so I need to work with her at home and have her "stop walking all over me and understand that Mom has a life too."

Guidelines for Conferences Concerning Angry Children By Leah Davies, M.Ed. An angry child is a hurting child who needs help. A parent conference is a first step in understanding what is best for the child. Provide sufficient time to establish a respectful relationship with the parent and to foster open communication. Questions To Be Answered Prior To Conference What do the child's records indicate? What are the child's strengths and weaknesses? What is my greatest concern about this student? Are there any specific home activities I want to suggest? Goals To create a cooperative relationship with the parent(s), guardian, or caregiver. To foster increased school/home communication. To encourage positive parent/child interactions. To clarify and agree upon actions to be taken. Setting Use a private room that is free from distractions. Use chairs of equal size with no furniture between you and the parent(s). Sit beside each other rather than directly across from each other. Take a pencil and paper plus information on parenting classes, mental health facilities, and parenting handouts found under "Parent Tips" at www.kellybear.com. Procedures Greet the parent.

Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Clark, Ann-Marie Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Champaign IL. Parent-Teacher Conferences: Suggestions for Parents. ERIC Digest. Parent-teacher conferences sometimes become a cause for concern for everyone involved-children, parents, and teachers. Children just beginning their school experience may be wary of the idea of parents and teachers talking about them behind closed doors. Parents may feel uncomfortable about going inside their child's classroom, sitting in small chairs, and listening to reports of their child's conduct and class work. Teachers, especially in their first years of teaching, may be uncertain about how to handle unhappy or critical parents. They may feel uneasy telling anxious parents about their children's problems. This Digest outlines ways to improve communication during parent- teacher conferences. Suggestions are offered to help parents participate more effectively in parent-teacher conferences dealing with children's behavior and learning. 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.
