I was a teacher and coach for 20 years. Over that time, I developed a system of effectively communicating and collaborating with parents under potentially explosive circumstances.
If you’re reading this, you know how stressful a parent conference can be when you’re just starting out. But what can you do when no one shows you how it could be done? With that said, I would like to present our Parent Conference Mastery Plan.
Who's this for?
Classroom Teachers: This course will walk you through everything in an easy-to-apply format. The goal is to execute – not confuse you with technical terms.
Coaches: If you want to build support in the stands and maintain the standards of your program. Knowing how to communicate with emotional parents can mean the difference between a big win or a heartbreaking loss for your team.
School Administrators: If you’re new to school administration, you probably know that dealing with angry parents can be a common occurrence. Walk into your next parent meeting with confidence, knowing that you have a plan and know how to execute it.
