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!) You don't necessarily need to only have meetings with the student if they are misbehaving. You could possibly have meetings with the parents to talk about how well-behaved and on task that the student is and could recommend them to like gifted/ a honors society or clubs for example. If you just want more parent interaction as a teacher, you could possibly do weekly/monthly emails or send home letters about how each student did for that week/month and then that way they would feel more inclined to be involved as they would know each month how good they did in the class or if they did bad/misbehaved etc.
