1. Student Focus

Create a single slide summary that brings the conversation back to the student and can be used for links to Student Examples. 

2. Student Voice

Consider a student survey that provides student voice to the conference.

3. Student Examples

Share an artifact from the student - assignment, project, writing sample,  video message, reflection.
​​

​STUDENT WORK: Utilize Google Classroom and Google Drive for easy access to student work. In Classroom, click on 'People' in a specific class, and then  click on a student's name to see all of his/her work on one page. In Drive, search a student's name in the search bar, and all of his/her work will be listed. 

RELATIONSHIPS: Share what you have done to build relationships with your students and between students in your classroom this semester. From there, share what you have learned about a particular student due to these efforts and how you plan to build on this throughout the rest of the school year. ​

GOOGLE CLASSROOM: Consider showing parents your Google Classroom page and how students have been encouraged to utilize it in class and independently. 

ENDING A CONFERENCE: If you have a parent who wants to continue the conversation past their allotted time,  provide a courteous salutation: "Mrs. Williams, thank you for meeting with me today, but as I mentioned I have another family waiting.  Thank you for your time today." 
​

​INVITE YOUR CHAIR:  If you believe the conference will be a challenging one, consider inviting your Department Chair.
