Extractions: A guide for parents Introduction School Contributions Parent Contributions Preparing for a Conference ... Download a Printable Adobe Acrobat version of the "parent tips." Working Together Home and school-everyone shares the goal of helping children learn and feel successful. Research has proven that when parents and teachers work together, everyone benefits: students tend to earn higher grades, perform better on tests, attend school more regularly, have better behavior, and show more positive attitudes toward themselves and toward school. School programs that include strong parent involvement are more effective! Yet, collaboration between parents and teachers is not always a smooth process. Parent involvement in children's education goes beyond contributing cookies to class parties or attending PTA meetings. To be effective, parent involvement has to be a partnership between the family and the school to assure that children are learning to the best of their ability, that they feel safe and supported, and that their parents feel well informed and involved in making decisions that affect their child's school experience. At the same time, a strong home-school partnership means teachers perceive that parents are concerned about their children's education and promote positive attitudes toward school and learning.
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES

Extractions: A primer for parents on communicating with teachers When teachers talk, parents need to listen, according to some advice from teachers themselves. By Alyson Ward Fort Worth Star-Telegram Febuary 8, 2001 So you've got a kid. A good kid. He (usually) does his homework, he's a math whiz and he doesn't hit girls. But he brought home a note this week from his teacher-who wants to meet with you. Pronto. And it doesn't sound good. What does that mean? It means something's wrong, and you've got a 15-minute opportunity to charm the teacher, understand the problem and make it right. "A parent conference is something that's very stressful for parents," says Kay Floyd, a lecturer at Tarleton State University, who has studied and written about these meetings of doom. No kidding. What can you do to make sure the conference goes well? We asked Floyd and some elementary teachers to give us pointers for a successful parent/ teacher conference. They walked us through the entire intimidating ordeal and told us what parents can do to make it work. 1. Respond.

Extractions: of 5 For many of us, parent-teacher conferences conjure up images of grown men and women squeezing into miniature chairs and crouching painfully over very small desks. The all-too-familiar physical inconveniences are often accompanied by a flurry of emotions. When perceived as a judgment day, conferences can be a great source of anxiety for parents. What many parents don't realize, however, is that teachers view this as an opportune time to improve the child's education. "Parents are going to see someone who is very anxious to see them," says fourth grade teacher, Beverly McPherson. McPherson reminds parents that because they've known the child all his life, it only makes good sense that they become an integral part of the parent-teacher-team, creating a partnership with someone who has a mutual interest in the child's welfare. McPherson starts building a relationship with parents during the first weeks of school by making introductory phone calls. "I'm looking forward to working with you this year," she greets parents. McPherson considers parents to be a major part of the team. "They are their child's number one teacher for life," she adds. Parents, here's how you can do your part to insure the success of this team.

Extractions: Even the term "parent-teacher conference" can raise anxiety in the heart of any dad, particularly when your own mom and dad came home from such conferences with a need to "lay down the law." Why We Dislike Them. First, many dads and moms see parent teacher conferences as an evaluation of their parenting skills. "If my kid is having a hard time at school," we reason, "it must be because of us." We also worry about the notions the teacher may have about us based on our children. "I can't wait to meet Cindy's mom and dad!" we imagine the teacher thinking from time to time.

Extractions: YMCA parent tips: parent-teacher conferences staying in touch for your child's sake In most states, your child will be with her teacher for more than 180 days a yearmore if she is in child care. That's a long time in her life. And if things don't go well, it can become a long time in yours, too! Get to know your child's teacher. Plan on meeting at the start of the year and at other times the school sets aside for you to talk. Let the teacher know how interested you are in your child's learning. If you have time, stop by the school or child care center and have a word or two with the teacher. If you can't visit, stay in touch through short notes or phone calls. When you have a concern, speak calmly with the teacher about it and ask what the two of you can do together to make things better. Don't criticize a teacher in front of your child. Children learn better when they have confidence in their teacher. The best parent-teacher conference is a sit-down, face-to-face meeting. Most schools schedule these over the course of the school year. However, if you feel there's a problem and no conference is coming up, feel free to call the school and ask for one.

Extractions: Baby-sitter checklist by Ted Villaire When the time comes for a parent-teacher conference, some parents may wonder what they'll talk about, and other parents might even skip the meeting altogether because they're nervous about the encounter. With the right preparation, though, parents will not only eliminate some of their apprehension, they'll likely get more out of the conference and gain a better understanding of what they can do to help their child succeed. Careful preparation will also help parents set the stage for an ongoing relationship with the teacher. Starting off on the right foot Initially, parents should work to establish rapport with the teacher. As an icebreaker, parents may take notice of something that reflects well upon the teacher. For example, thank the teacher for having made thoughtful notes on your child's homework or for the special attention in helping your child learn to multiply.

Extractions: Henderson cautions parents not to commit to something they cannot do. For example, if a teacher suggests parents should help their child with math assignments, some parents may not have the skills to do that. So, they would need suggestions of other resources available to help the child succeed in that area.

http://www.slc.k12.ut.us/sites/wasatch/conf.htm

Extractions: This is a time when you and your child will meet with your teacher to share the results of the most recent months. It is a time to look backward and forward as you assess growth and make plans for the next term. It is a time to set personal education goals - a process we call SEP's: student education plans. The entire state of Utah requires that every child along with his parents and teacher set personal goals that will lead to meaningful growth in learning. This may seem like a fairly sophisticated expectation! The truth is, however, that children don't always connect what they do day-to-day with an end of the term report cards. The SEP conference is a time to guide students to reflect about their "habits" and how these might be affecting their performance in school. Scheduling We will send home notices to let you know it's time to schedule our conferences. If you have more than one student attending Wasatch please call Shellee, the principal's assistant, at 578-8564 to schedule your conference times. Every effort will be made to consecutively schedule your conference times. Students are welcome and encouraged to attend conference with their parents. However, we are unable to provide accommodations for preschoolers. Outside arrangements for other children will make this a special time for you, your child, and your teacher.
