How To Make the Most of a Parent-Teacher Conference
By Linda Echt, Head of School
The goal of both parents and teachers in a conference is to work in partnership to optimize for a student’s success in school. Here’s a list of 10 simple suggestions for parents to make the most of the time they spend with teachers. (p.s. There’s a little prep work worth doing, so don’t leave this to read ‘til the morning of!)
- Talk to your child beforehand. Find out if there is anything he or she would like you to bring up in the conference.
- Make notes ahead of time. And because time can pass quickly, be sure to discuss important things first
