Parent, Teacher and Student Conferencing

Parent, Teacher and Student Conferencing

There are many partners who play significant roles in educating children.  Parents are the first teacher of their child, and theirs is a crucial role in the education of their children.  

Conferences are the formal framework that parents and teachers can use to learn together how to provide the best possible support system for the child’s learning. 

While many schools still use the standard fifteen minute conference format in which a teacher will see parents individually over the course of an afternoon or evening, in recent years, the traditional meeting has been challenged by two alternative conference formats: the three way conference and the student led conference.
