Parent-teacher conferences are usually scheduled in the fall in most Elementary and Middle Schools but parents are also welcome to schedule meetings with teachers at any time during the school year. Notices or invitations for conferences are sent through school newsletters, weekly classroom packets, bulletin boards, reader boards, phone trees, or flyers. Classroom teachers create conference schedules for parents to sign up and pick a convenient time to come to school, meet with the teacher and discuss their child's academic progress. Here are some important tips that will help you make the most out of your time spent talking with your child's teacher. B efore the Conference: Discuss with your child his/her concerns about school.

It is a time that can be spent strengthening the partnership between home and school. It can be a challenging time for both parents and teachers when dealing with academic or behavioral situations that have to be addressed. Here are some links to sites that have useful information and resources related to parent-teacher conferences. Attached is a Parent Questionnaire I used to send home prior to parent conferences to help parents organize their thoughts for this most important meeting. When you click on the link, choose Save, then you can open the document and make changes to suit your own needs. Unity Poem Establishing open communication with parents is important to develop the "team approach" that will affect a student's learning, behavior, and achievement. When a child knows that the parent and teacher are working together, it makes the job of educating the child a lot easier. Research supports the benefits of having parents involved in their child's schooling. Attached is a poem titled Unity . It is a poem that was given to me by a parent to show her appreciation for a rewarding school year. I loved the poem so much that I began giving a copy of it to the parents of my students each year. I hope you enjoy it.

Parenting Tips: parent and teacher conference Parents and teachers conferences CAN be an experience you don't need to dread. Information on the questions, approaches, expectations and how to form a team with your children's advocate. Conference time is met with apprehension, nervousness, and sometimes frustration. It doesn't have to be a time of dread. It can be a time of resolving issues and planning strategies to strenghten weaknesses the child may have, as well as highlighting the successes of the child. If both parties come together with the common goal of helping the student achieve success in school, then nearly everything is workable. When either the parent or the teacher is angry, defensive, or uninformed, then those issue will hamper any productiveness from the beginning of the conference. I can offer you a few suggestions as to how to have a better parent/teacher conference. These suggestions should help to ease some of the pre-conference jitters, or apprehension for either party. PARENTS: It is always best to meet the teacher before there is a problem. In that way you will be familiar with her, and even have developed a rapport with her. If you wait until anger or concern is the primary motive, a situation of dread or defensiveness will exist for possibly either you or the teacher. Go to Open House, call her and say, "Hi", or send a note expressing your willingness to "be there". Small gestures go a long way to narrowing the gap between parents and teachers.

PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES... BE POSITIVE, BE PREPARED Parent-teacher conferences are one of the many steps taken to help build a student's educational program. They are an opportunity for a parent to discuss a student's progress in school with his or her teacher and to learn more about the youngster. Report cards, notes, etc., have their advantages, but the parent-teacher conference has one thing more – it's a chance to get together in person and seek ways to work together to help your youngster. As a parent, this conference provides you with a chance to: get to know your student's teacher or teachers, learn about the school and curriculum, and discuss your youngster's strengths and weaknesses in various areas. It's a chance for you to: ask questions, give teachers information that will help them understand your student's needs, and work together with the teacher to plan your student's school year. Here's what you can do to get ready for the conference: List the things that will help the teacher understand your youngster better. For example, any special health needs or problems, outside interests and hobbies, feelings about school, and relationship with brothers and sisters. List the things that you want to find out from the teacher. For example, you may want to know about:

Parent Teacher Conferences A primer for parents on communicating with teachers When teachers talk, parents need to listen, according to some advice from teachers themselves. By Alyson Ward Fort Worth Star-Telegram Febuary 8, 2001 So you've got a kid. A good kid. He (usually) does his homework, he's a math whiz and he doesn't hit girls. But he brought home a note this week from his teacher-who wants to meet with you. Pronto. And it doesn't sound good. What does that mean? It means something's wrong, and you've got a 15-minute opportunity to charm the teacher, understand the problem and make it right. "A parent conference is something that's very stressful for parents," says Kay Floyd, a lecturer at Tarleton State University, who has studied and written about these meetings of doom. No kidding. What can you do to make sure the conference goes well? We asked Floyd and some elementary teachers to give us pointers for a successful parent/ teacher conference. They walked us through the entire intimidating ordeal and told us what parents can do to make it work. 1. Respond.

Therefore, an appropriate time and setting is important for the first brief encounter. A phone call, a note, or, best of all, an initial face-to-face meeting is best. A good time to contact your child's teacher is during the first week of school. This gives you an opportunity to meet one another when neither has any complaints. Otherwise, the first teacher contact can be unpleasant. The teacher is usually calling to describe some unacceptable behavior or report a child's tack of progress and her concern that a learning problem may exist. This kind of contact usually puts a parent on the defensive, and communication can be hampered. Neither party wins, and the biggest loser is your child.

Define the legal rights of parents. List activities to engage and support parents. List ways to train teachers to work with parents. List and describe desirable contacts with parents, including conferences and other communications. Describe ways to improve services for parents, including a home-school coordinator, parent involvement in school decisions, and centralization of social services. The Family and Learning One characteristic of successful educational programs is parental involvement in the education of children. This might involve many strategies, including providing a place for parents in the school where they can visit, evening meals, and special events that might attract them. Another possibility is parenting classes, beginning with parents of infants. This type of community involvement may seem more appropriate as more preschool programs develop. Nelson (1996) has summarized research about parental influence and school achievement: The child's first and most influential teacher is the parent.
