What do parents want from a
conference?
• They want to know that you know
their child.
• They want you to converse about the
student’s academic and personal
strengths and weaknesses.
• They want to know whether the child
is “on track” for their aspirations.
• They want to know you have a plan for
their child’s success.

Some tips for a good
conference
• Dress as a “business” professional. Parents will trust
your credibility.
• Learn the parent name(s) in advance, they are not
always the same as the child(s).
• Start with specific personal observations about the
child, without referring to a grade book or notes.
• Introduce issues through dialogue, not by listing the
treatment.
• Ask questions, get their perspective
• Focus on what you intend to do and not what they
need to do
• Keep your promises
