Do parents find that information useful and valuable? How do you know? Considerations Some considerations include: The teacher will prepare an analysis of each student’s academic performance to-date based on all elements of the performance (i.e. homework, formative assessments, summative assessments, participation, etc.) and produce a hard copy to give the parent at conferences or mail if the parent doesn’t attend. The teacher may bring samples of the student’s performance to share at the conference if there are helpful in understanding the student’s performance. The teacher will prepare an analysis of the student’s attendance and behavior and able share a verbal report with the parent at
conferences. The teacher will review the recommended talking points to cover provided by the principal prior to conferences. Your Response: I would bring student's recent work and notes I have made about their behavior and learning styles. This is how parents can see beyond the grades and see the work that created the grades. You recognize the name of the student, who seems nice but has not seemed very motivated to learn. How would you begin the conversation? Learning Objective The central issue of this sim is communication between a teacher and a parent about the performance of the student. The problem of practice is that parent-teacher conferences can end up being difficult conversations for the teacher if the teacher assumes the conversation is about the performance of the student while the parent wants it to be about the performance of the teacher. Your Choice(s): Start by calling attention to the short amount of time left for the conference. Other Choices Start by sharing a positive comment about the student. Start by stating that this conference is about helping the parent support their student. Start by suggesting that rescheduling a conference may be a good idea due to the time crunch. Decision Time 00:00:13 Feedback Sometimes establishing common expectations regarding process can be a good way to start a conference. Considering the issue of this student's level of motivation may lead you to want to take more time with this parent. Other approaches that demonstrate that you are looking for the parent's input and reflectively listening can also build shared expectations at the start of a conference. Self Check: Pause for a moment to take a quick internal inventory. How are you feeling after seeing the parent's reaction? How do you think your reaction will frame how you
continue to interact with this parent? Considerations This opportunity called for self-awareness and self-management as you are interacting in real time with a parent. How does this situation map to others you've been in with parents? What would you do differently going forward with regard to self-awareness and self-management? Your Response: I am hoping I didn't offend her, I don't want her to feel her time is any less important than mine. I would hope that she can see I'd like to get to the matter at hand. You now feel rushed to complete this conference, which will not serve anyone well. What do you do? Learning Objective Having self-awareness of your own stress levels is important in navigating can be the whitewater of parent conferences. Consider what you feel is urgent and also what feels most important in the flow of connecting with parents. Your Choice(s): Stay focused on conferencing with the current parent and keep moving. Other Choices Excuse yourself to tell the new parent that you will meet with them but will need to go beyond 8pm. Tell the conference parent that time is getting even more limited and urge them to schedule another meeting with you. Decision Time 00:00:07 Feedback This type of situation is informed by your social awareness and relationship skills. Communication and listening are key. You look up to see that the parent who was waiting is no longer there, which has you feeling less rushed. How will you go about sharing academic and behavior information with this parent?
