Now more than ever, we need strong pathways of communication among families and schools. Parent-teacher conferences are one aspect of schooling that can continue, even though they look different with virtual meetings rather than in-person discussions. In this post, five practical tips for leading a successful (virtual) parent-teacher conference will be shared, as well as an all-new printable student goals and expectations handout.
The more your school communicates with its families, the more your students and families feel connected to, rather than isolated from, their school community. When students feel connected, they are more likely to invest their time and energy into doing the best job possible, so parent-teacher conferences can make a huge impact on the success of students and the experiences of the whole family.
