Great Parent Conferences!

We all know that when parents are made to feel welcome and when conferences are mutually satisfying, parents will be back again.  This article is amazing and still more amazing is the mid-article graphic that you can click on to view an older parent conference article written by the same author.  There you will find 101 tips to great parent conferences.  Obviously, you won't need all of them but a few, I'm sure will spark an interest.  We, who work in the Title I population see only a handful of parents for a number of reasons.  But our research has pointed out that the school must be a welcoming place free of judgment.  This article is a must-read especially for you in schools with poor attendance at parent conferences.  Share you own experiences.  We'd love to here from you.
