P arentteacher conferences are a crucial aspect of effective teaching. Too often the disconnect between the teacher and the parent creates a loss of a great opportunity for transformational or disruptive change that could save otherwise failing kids. On the other hand, for “Achieving students”, this is a good chance for those parents to learn about how to help challenge and enrich their child's learning experience. These special meetings should be conducted alongside other communication channels between the teacher and the parents. Examples include phone calls, learning platform and online communication resources, take home assignments and correspondence or even home visits. The best policy is “often and early” (drawn from Colins draft) with parent intervention and inclusion. In this brief report, we’ll look at four simulated PT conferences to demonstrate some key rules and tactics to integrate into your practice. Guidelines (1) Come prepared: Teachers need to prepare well in advance to think about what needs to be discussed for each student and parent. They should select one area to focus on improvement and offer suggestions. Teachers should show the parents their class situation thus far and have a piece of work to show that helps to reinforce the point they’re trying to get across. A story from class or a personal piece isn’t a bad tactic either. (2) Emphasize the “ingroup” Teachers can manage potentially confrontational scenarios by starting the meeting on the “same side” as the parent. Why are we having this meeting? To help your child improve, learn, grow and achieve. This can be done as much with direct verbal framing as body language and proxemics. For Instance, sit at the same side of the table as the parent. They’ve probably had a long day too. (3) Have a conversation No one wants to be lectured at. Begin by inviting the parent into the conversation. Ask them to share what they see their child doing at home, how they talk about school or any other useful stories. Both parents and students alike will respond more favorably when they feel they have some personal commitment and presence in a relationship, even a very brief one. This has been proven repeatedly, especially in the healthcare profession. (see Dondido’s Changing Behavior 2009) Our greatest obstacle here is time: many teachers have to squeeze in dozens of parents in one evening try chunking or flipping the conversation, technology is our ally.
