Parent Teacher Conference
Storyboard Text
- The teacher will reach out to the parent by email asking to schedule a meeting to discuss the student's performance and share some of her concerns.
- to: Mrs Sarahfrom: Aly's momI'd like to meet you and discuss some concerns I have about your child's learning and performance.
- If the parent did not respond to the email, the teacher will give her a phone call. The teacher will be nice and will not worry the parent. She will ask to schedule a meeting to discuss concerns regarding the students.
- Hello! This is Mrs Sarah, I would like to speak with you about Aly's performance. When is good time for us to meet?
- The teacher will be nice and welcoming. The parent will most probably be worried and anxious or maybe even defensive. It's the teacher's job to make the parent feel comfortable and at ease.
- Hi Mrs Nadia! Thank you for coming and making time to meet me!
- Not at all! I just wanted to share some concerns I have about Aly's academic performance.
- Of course. I'm very worried. Is there something wrong? Is Aly in trouble?
- The teacher will start the meeting off on a positive note. She will sharethe student's good qualities and praise his positive traits. That will go a long way in gaining the parent's trust and show the parents that she cares and sees the good in their child.
- Aly is a very bright student who has so much potential. He's very well behaved and respectful. I love having him in my class.
- Oh thank you! It really means a lot to hear this from you!
- The teacher will be very clear about her concerns. The teacher must also show empathy and understanding towards the parent to help communicate her point well and get the parent on board in order to work together for the student's best interest.
- I understand why you may feel confused. I was surprised and that's why I wanted to speak with you. He may be doing most of his assignments, but he's not submitting the quality of work he used to always submit. Also, his assessment grades are unusually low.
- And because I know how strong of a student Aly is and how much potential he has, I started to worry when I noticed a recent decline in his performance. I thought it was important that we discuss the issue together and find out the reason behind Aly's recent set back.
- Oh no! But, how come?! I see him work at home and I know he submits his homework...
- The teacher will share evidence to back up her concerns and help make her point clear to the parent by showing student's previous and current submitted work, assessments, and objective data based on summative assessment performance. For example: MAP tests, FP Reading Tests, etc. This will help the parent see the decline in performance, understand that it's not a teacher issue and get on board to help.
- I'd like to show you some of Ali's old and recent assignments so you can see the difference. His winter MAP test scores are so much lower than his Fall ones and his FP test shows he went one Reading level down. This all proves there is something going on with Ali and I need your help to help him.
- Oh wow. But, why?? That isn't Ali's academic level.This is worrying.
