Case: Parental Intimidation
I was in a situation last semester were I was an intern with my CT and one of the parents who's family conference I sat through frightened me. He was a very tall, very muscular man covered with tattoos and spoke very gruffly to my CT. She seemed to handle it well, but the man frightened me terribly. I could not imagine having to have done that on my own. Any suggestions how to get over such a silly fear? Or tips to calm myself when I'm feeling frightened by a parent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I agree with the above solutions, but I also have a solution for your nerves. I have been through many conferences, and the ones that go the best are the ones where I have come in prepared with some notes. If the issue is grade related, I come in with a grade printout and possibly a sample of the student's work to illustrate what I have seen in the classroom. If it is behavior related, I bring notes concerning what I have observed. I also encourage you to take a deep breathe and remember that you are a professional. Never go in on the attack, but be respectful to the student/parents even if they are hostile. Eventually you will get used to these meetings. |
