Case: The Absent Parent
You as a first grade teacher, always feel that parent-teacher conference day is basically a day off for you. "If five parents showed up, it was a lot," you usually say. What is going on? How can you fix this so that you get maximum parental participation in your parent-teacher conferences?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a teacher it is very important to have a relationship with the parents of your students. This is important because it gives you a well understanding of the student's background and home life. A way for the parents to show up to the parent-teacher conferences is by contacting each parent and setting up an appointment. You should stress to the parents what will be covered for example, how the student is doing in your classroom and their goals that will get the students passing your class. If a parent can not meet to a face to face meeting he or she can schedule a good time to have an over the phone meeting. This way you can be flexible with all the families. And, also remind the parents that they are their number one motivators to their child. |

Comments: I really like this solution. It would be good to individually contact each parent. Also, if the specific day of the PTC isn't convenient for parents its good that they have a chance to set up an appointment or have a phone conference. |

Comments: Absolutely! It definitely helps you see what is going on with the student outside of school so you have a better understanding of what happens when they are in school. |
