Parent Conferences are less than 2 weeks away. Now is the time to prepare to ensure that we get at least 80% of our parents in our building. Do you struggle getting parents in the door or have your conferences turned stale? Look no further!!! Please explore this week's blog and feel free to leave comments on anything you do that make conferences successful for all parties.
If we reach the 90% mark, the students will be able to vote on a challenge for administration to complete. We will also allow a special wacky dress down day for students as well.
To be included in this count, the conference must be held by March 24, 2017!
Here is a video with some great ideas for making a great impression at our upcoming Report Card Conferences.
Also, here is a goal sheet that your students can complete that you could have the student share at the end of the conference or that you could share with the parent.
Their student is the KEY!!!
Have students complete an invitation in their own words on WHY it is important for them to come to their scheduled conference!
I know that many are saying...there isn't enough time for all of this. Well, use all of your time wisely. While they wait to see you, have student samples available for them to see. Or, allow them time to look through student samples at the end of the conference and provide sticky notes for them to leave questions and you can follow up with an email or Dojo!! It is a non-negotiable that student work should be a part of these parent conferences!!!
Please make sure you share any comments below with our staff if you have strategies that would positively impact our conferences!!!! Thanks for all you do and see you tomorrow morning!
