Parent Teacher Conferences

I have recently experienced my first parent teacher conferences. I believe they went really well! My parents were very interested in helping their child out with bringing up their grades. I was honestly a little afraid that they would be upset with me because of their child's grades, but none were.  What a relief! I believe a great deal of my success was due to the fact that I tried to prepare myself as well as I could. I found some nice hand outs for the parents that I could fill out and give to the parents for them to take home. My favorite was the Student Self- Evaluation form. It was a great way for me to see whether or not the students were aware of what their strengths and weaknesses are.
