The Best Resources On Parent/Teacher Conferences
As regular readers know, I’ve been “curating” resources I’ve posted about over the past three years. You can see all my parent engagement-related “The Best” lists here.
Here are my choices for The Best Resources On Parent/Teacher Conferences:
Successful Student-Led School Conferences is from Middleweb.
Parent–Teacher Conference Tip Sheets (Hojas de Consejos Para Las Reuniones de Padres y Maestros) are two hand-outs — one in English and one in Spanish — that “are designed to support educators and families in conducting productive, successful parent-teacher conferences.” They’re from the Harvard Family Research Project.
“Student-led conferences benefit parents, kids” is the headline in a Yakima Herald article about a local effort to do teacher/parent/student conferences that are led by students.
Education Research Report provides a pretty interesting summary of a study done analyzing what actually happens in parent-teacher conferences. Check-out “In Parent-Teacher Conferences, It’s Often Not About the Student.”
Student-Led Conferences: A Growing Trend comes from Education World.
Acing Parent-Teacher Conferences is the headline of an article in The Wall Street Journal. There’s nothing particularly new or insightful there, but it does share some decent advice. It seems to be an unusual article to find in the mainstream media.
Conferring with Parents — Part One and Conferring with Parents — Part Two both come from Choice Literacy.
Student-Led Conferences is a post by Peter DeWitt at Ed Week.
Why Parent Teacher Conferences Matter is a useful post from a middle school principal, Mr. Bernia.
Student-Led Parent Conferences: How They Work in My Primary Classroom is a nice post by teacher Kathy Cassidy.
