Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews

3 most important things inreal estate…

40
3 most important things in theparent – teacher relationship…
• Communication
• Communication
• Communication
• Communication is built on a foundation of Rapport…
• So… build rapport first
41
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
Rapport is mostly NON-VERBAL
• 3 observable elements of Rapport:– Body Posture– Voice (tone and volume)– Language Modality
• visual, kinesthetic and auditory
42
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Activity to observe rapport…– Re-group into three groups…
• What’s your dream ride?• Go to the picture that has that vehicle
• Balloon People will be A• Boat People will be B• Motorcycle People will be C
43
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• ‘A’ (Balloons): watch the changes of body posture between both individuals
• ‘B’ (Boats): listen to the tone and volume of the conversation – note emotional changes
• ‘C’ (Bikes): listen for language modalities – are they kinesthetic, visual or auditory?…
• ALL – note examples of what you are observing
44
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Observations / comments / questions– A – body posture, physical rapport– B – volume and tone– C – language modality
45
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Reflection (personal) (3:06) – “Shaping Up”
– Something I learned that SQUARES with my belief about rapport…
– A question going AROUND in my mind…
– Three POINTS I want to remember
46
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• So… how can we use this knowledge of rapport in communication with parents?
47
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
Pace and Lead to develop rapport(Seek First to Understand, then to be understood)
• Match body, voice and language to honor your guest
• Lead your guest to a position of rapport by listening first…
• Paraphrase frequently to establish that they have been honored
48
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
After rapport has established…
Prepare to develop solutions…
• Establish common intent – (ie to ensure educational growth of child)
• Establish partnership toward common goal
• Develop solutions based on possibilities…
49
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• The solution focused schema– A “schema” is a mind map… in this case… a
map of how you would like to guide a conversation towards a solution…
50
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviewsthe solution focused schema:
Do m ore of it
Deliberate?
Find out how or w hy
Spontaneous?
Exceptions FrameW hen is the 'right' thing happening?
W hat is different when the 'right' thingis happening?
Do a sm allpiece of w hat
it should look like.
Hypothetical FrameW hen the problem is solved,what w ill you / your child / I
be doing differently?
Goal FrameW hat is the purpose of this meeting?
A w ish or complaint?W hat w ould you like to change?
Peller and Walter, “Becoming Solution Focused in Brief Therapy” (1992)
51
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Regroup… – Go to the picture of your favorite African
Animal– Find a partner… tell him/her why you picked
this animal
• Elephant will be A’s
• Giraffe will be B’s
• Tiger will be C’s
52
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Demonstration of the solution focused interview schema
• Observers… – A (elephant) observers watch rapport– B (giraffe) observers watch for the pace and
lead– C (tiger) observers watch for the schema
• Note specific examples…
53
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Observations / comments / questions– A - rapport– B - pace and lead– C - the schema
54
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Reflection (personal) (2:30) (Head-Heart-Hand)– An Idea I had– A Feeling I experienced– An action I plan to take
55
• Time for a break…
• Return by the end of the play list… (10 min)
– Golden Years– On My Way– Doo Wop Ditty
56
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Re-group…
• Line up by birth date (month and day)
• Divide by 3 – form 3 lines
• One from each line, starting at the front, form a group of 3…
57
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Practice in small groups through Improv…– Decide who will be A, B and a C– A is the Parent (present the scenario)– B is the Teacher (practice the schema)– C is Observer (observe the process and offer
feedback)
• The scenarios are in your handouts
58
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• Observations / comments / questions
59
Solution Focused Parent Teacher Interviews
• The best way to avoid awkward, difficult and or confrontational interviews is to establish communication and a partnership with parents early… before problems arise.
