Maximizing Parent Teacher Conferences

Prior to 2020, Parent-teacher conferences used to be a routine part of the school year. But now, with an average five-month learning loss, and studies showing a majority of parents reporting increased stress and anxiety from their children being in virtual instruction, we can't go back to business as usual. Parent-teacher conferences offer a unique opportunity for more meaningful conversations. Please join a veteran teacher,  as he offers tools and insight on how to have richer parent-teacher conferences that go beyond student behavior, and instead help parents truly advocate for their children.
