Hello, and welcome to Teaching with Valor, where we dive into the real-life challenges teachers face in the classroom. I’m Don Fessenden, your host, and today’s episode is all about one of the most crucial touchpoints between teachers and parents: the parent-teacher conference.

We’ve all been there. The clock is ticking, you have just 15 or 20 minutes with each parent, and you need to convey important information, answer questions, and build a positive relationship—all within that short time frame. It’s no small task, but a well-executed parent-teacher conference can lead to significant benefits for the student. When handled well, it can increase parental support at home, create a team approach for the student’s success, and help build a bridge between school and home life.

In this episode, we’re going to break down the steps for a successful parent-teacher conference, from preparation to follow-up. We’ll cover strategies for creating a welcoming atmosphere, delivering both positive feedback and constructive insights, and handling unexpected questions or concerns with grace. Whether you’re an elementary, middle, or high school teacher, these insights will help you make the most of your time with parents and leave a lasting impression.
