The week of November 7, 2016
"Achieving Our Dreams through Education"
As a teacher I remember my first parent teacher conferences, I was so nervous and I couldn't wait for it to be over. But it turned out to be a great experience and a great night.
As a parent I remember my first parent teacher conferences, (many many years before I was a school principal) I was also again nervous.
Just a bit of advice when working with parents. Be personable, listen as much as you talk. Authentically listen. Be honest, but be honest in a kind manner. Do not avoid tough topics, but deliver unpleasant news pleasantly. Many parents want to do right and support their students educations, but many do not know how.
I have included some really great videos and articles including a great one from the NEA. Please take a look.
Jenny Barkac will be on site this week. I have emailed classroom teachers a letter from her and some questions she has for you. (3 Short questions) Please answer the questions and get them turned in to me.
