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!)
I will make the parent teacher conference a fun time for all who show up. I would even attempt to establish a parent teacher night once a grading period. I would make it a fun experience for the parents, and have some food, and maybe a picture slideshow or movie for them to watch. Just a fun social get together would make it a pleasurable event for the parents to attend. Hopefully this will attract them to come out to school and get involved. |

Comments: An event to encourage parent participation is a good idea. However, conference day is supposed to be a touch base meeting about the child's progress/development. The focus should be on the child. |

Comments: Although this may help get them together I’m not sure this is a time for social hour. Maybe you can start with something like this just as a “get to know you” time but also do a conference night that is more formal. |
