Growing up, students only had one mandatory parent teacher conference a year and all other times parents were called in were for behavior issues. In my classroom I want strong school-family connections and want to have conferences. Most of my parents only want to hear if their child is misbehaving so scheduling multiple conferences a year is tricky. How do I get parents more involved? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am a parent in the elementary school system and also going back to school for teaching. I love it when my kid's teachers send out email blasts once a week. This helps me know what is happening in class and what will be expected for the following week. My daughter's school also does student-led conferences which are amazing. The kids bring their families in and show off their work and classroom. Students take pride in this and is always a success. It's a great way to involve the parents and if they are having concerns, they can set up a time to meet with the teacher.
