Conferences & Interviews
A conference in the classroom can take on many different forms. There can be Parent-Teacher conferences where the parents/guardians of a student come in to meet with the teacher about the student's behavior or grades, or any other issues which may need to be addressed in person. A conference may include or exclude the student.
A Student-Teacher conference will usually happen in the classroom. This may be to discuss an assignment, the student's behavior, a specific problem within the class such as peer issues, or to simply inform the student of their standing in the grades. Here is a specific list of the kinds of conferences:
Types of conferences
• During a parent / teacher conference, the parent and the teacher work together to develop a plan
to ensure the child is performing to the fullest extent.
• A student-led conference allows students to take the lead as they provide the teacher and their
parents with examples of their academic progress. It encourages students to take responsibility for
their learning and to share their work.
• A group conference provides an opportunity for the teacher to meet with parents in a large or
small group setting. These meetings can provide information about curriculum, classroom
expectations, and school programs. Individual student progress or lack of progress is not
discussed at group conferences
An interview is usually between the parent and teacher. Here are some examples to give you an idea of what they may look like:
This video is a great example of how conferences may go within the classroom:
Written Examples:
Both conferences and interview questions are great to have in every classroom. In order for any student to be successful they need their teacher and parents to be on the same page and to help them through the school year. I would rate both of the a 4/5 only because I am sure may teachers and parents do not take this strategy in school very seriously for their student.
