Show 44: Meaningful and Impactful Parent Conferences
The journey of teaching a child and making a positive impact on their life involves much more than a teacher's effort. It is a team approach and a team mission. Parents/guardians are a key player in that team, and parent-teacher conferences are something we should always value as educators. It can add extra stress, it can feel like one more thing, but it is a chance to align everyone to the goals of a child's growth. Ken and Matt talk about their experiences with conferences and the strategies they used to get everyone on the same page.
