In this episode, I reveal what parents really think about the time they are spending in parent/teacher conferences, as well as what this means for you as a teacher. I share many of the answers parents submitted when I asked the question: “What do you enjoy about parent/teacher conferences, and what suggestions do you have to make this a better experience?”

Tips from this episode:

• Learn why parents are upset because conferences are focusing more on data and test scores, rather than if their children are good citizens
• Discover how you can make the parent/teacher conference a more positive and productive experience
• Understand why leadership teams should be thinking very carefully about how they are structuring parent/teacher conference night and the impact that structure is having on the overall school community
