How To Have A Successful
Parent / Teacher Conference
Getting
To Work
Explain the goal or goals that you will be setting for the child in school.
Make these goals attainable so that the child will meet with success.
The parents must have the same goals at home. You can encourage them to
write goals on a paper and post it in the home. This will put the responsibility
on the child, the parents and the teacher. Plan a time to check the effectiveness
of the goals. Maybe each week you can send home a checklist and check
the goals that have been met for that week. Parents can sit with their
child and talk about what has happened at home. Parents and child can
sign the checklist and send it back. The parents should feel comfortable
enough to call you or send a note when they feel they need positive reinforcement.
There should be a partnership forming between you and the parents. This
is the most effective way to help a child. To know that school and home
are working together will help the student to realize the importance of
learning.
