CONFERENCES: How parents can get the most out of the limited time:
- Ask your child to share concerns before you go.
- Bring written notes and questions.
- Tell the teacher about at-home issues that might be impacting your child's academics.
- Don't be antagonistic. View the teacher as your partner.
- If teacher uses jargon, ask for simple explanations and specifics about your child's work.
- Keep the conversation focused on your child—not your childhood, the teacher's workload or views on the curriculum.
- Discuss strategies you and the teacher can use to help your child. Write out common goals.
- Ask for follow-up emails and conversations.
