NO PARENT LEFT BEHIND (1)
1) Make the first contact POSITIVE
• A child’s PERCEPTION is often the parent’s REALITY, especially if they are not hearing from the school.
![Page 15: First Years’ Bellwork: “Why Didn’t I Learn This in College?” workbook p. 271 Complete the “Working with Parents as Partners” survey](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697c02c1a28abf838cd91e5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
NO PARENT LEFT BEHIND (2)
2) SMILE and recognize the impact of non-verbal communication
• 2 powerful words to start a parent conference with are THANK YOU . . .
![Page 16: First Years’ Bellwork: “Why Didn’t I Learn This in College?” workbook p. 271 Complete the “Working with Parents as Partners” survey](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697c02c1a28abf838cd91e5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
NO PARENT LEFT BEHIND (3)
3) Parents move/remain here because of the quality of the school and expect no less from parent conferences.
• Give them no VALID reason to say: “I was not AWARE . . .”• Return calls and emails PROMPTLY• If you speak with their child in a DISCIPLINE matter, make
the parent aware.• “Let Me Know if my child is STRUGGLING before it is too
late.”• Offer TIMELY and DETAILED DATA to support your position.

No Parent Left Behind (4)
4) To teach, first we must REACH• Are their issues at HOME affecting performance or
behavior?
• Work to develop a comfortable and collaborative relationship with parents.
• Approximately 75% of parental complaints are concerning relationships.• Only about 25% concern instruction
![Page 18: First Years’ Bellwork: “Why Didn’t I Learn This in College?” workbook p. 271 Complete the “Working with Parents as Partners” survey](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697c02c1a28abf838cd91e5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
No Parent Left Behind (4)
• Mix some RELATIONSHIP with the rules.• Mix some politeness with the POWER• Don’t mentally or emotionally DEFEAT the
potential of a parent conference before it even begins.
• PROACTIVELY and consistently review strategies for enhancing relationships with parents.
• Why should you (or your administrator) have to clean up a relational mess that could have been AVOIDED?
![Page 19: First Years’ Bellwork: “Why Didn’t I Learn This in College?” workbook p. 271 Complete the “Working with Parents as Partners” survey](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697c02c1a28abf838cd91e5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
No Parent Left Behind (5)
5) LISTEN! – Let the parent be heard; this is sometimes all they desire.• Maintain an OPEN DOOR policy.• Mix some LISTEN with the lecture.• Don’t DOMINATE the conversation
![Page 20: First Years’ Bellwork: “Why Didn’t I Learn This in College?” workbook p. 271 Complete the “Working with Parents as Partners” survey](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697c02c1a28abf838cd91e5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
No Parent Left Behind (6)
6) View opposition as an OPPORTUNITY and conflict as CONSTRUCTIVE• If necessary, AGREE to disagree and stay CALM
• If the answer is NO, we still have a choice as to how we deliver that answer
• A willingness to COMPROMISE can be your greatest power tool!
• A great question for the parent when the conference is STALLED
![Page 21: First Years’ Bellwork: “Why Didn’t I Learn This in College?” workbook p. 271 Complete the “Working with Parents as Partners” survey](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697c02c1a28abf838cd91e5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
No Parent Left Behind (6)
• Parents may shut down or attack when they feel THREATENED
• Many parents view the SCHOOL as it once treated them.
• Don’t take it PERSONALLY!• Let Go of my EGO! Not CONFIDENCE, just pride!!
