Conferences are an important time for parents and teachers to collaborate on the best direction to take in preparing for the future.
Tips for a successful conference: Attend! This is a time for feedback from your teacher about how your student interacts in the classroom. Team up! Work with the teacher to set goals and expectations for your child. Ask questions! In the age of data sharing, some of it is confusing. Ask until you are clear about what the data tells you. Look for examples of your child's work. Ask to meet again if the conference is not long enough to address your questions.
At home, follow up with your child. Create expectations for your child regarding work quality and remember to praise them for their hard work!
