How Do You Have A Successful Parent Teacher Conference?
• Ask your child if there is anything that he would like you to discuss with the teacher. • Arrive promptly or a few minutes early. • Jot down everything that you want to talk about at the conference. • Begin with positive comments about the teacher or classroom. • Avoid lengthy discussions of topics that are not related to the purpose of the conference. • Be open-minded to suggestions from the teacher. • Keep your emotions under control. • Take notes about what has been discussed to share with your child. • Express appreciation for the conference. Do not stay beyond your allotted time.
