It’s that time of year again – Parent-Teacher Conference Season! These conferences provide the perfect opportunity for parents and teachers to maintain an ongoing dialogue.
Caroline Carrello, a Possip intern majoring in Human and Organization Development at Vanderbilt University, compiled tips for families for effective Parent-Teacher conferences.
Conferences give the opportunity to discuss your child’s academic performance and well-being at school. This allows you to stay informed, express concerns, and collaborate with teachers in nurturing your child’s growth, all while forging a strong connection between home and school.
Before Your Conference
- Be in the know: Determine the conference dates.
- Be proactive: If conferences are not scheduled by the school or teacher, contact your child’s teacher and request a conference.
- Review your child’s work: Go through your child’s recent assignments, tests, and homework to understand their academic progress and any areas where they may be struggling.
- Communicate with your child: Talk to your child about the upcoming conference and ask for their input on any concerns or questions. Encourage them to share their thoughts and feelings about school.
- Formulate questions: Think about what is most important to you and what you could use help with from another adult who knows your child in a different context than you do. We came up with some questions to help get you started!
