Parents andTeacher Meeting

In order to learn how to run out a  teacher and parents meeting  we watched a video of  an interview between  a teacher and a mother. From this video, I will point out several characteristics that I’ve considered important.

  First at all, they started with a good welcome as to create a comfortable and positive environment. Then, you could observe the good communication that were established along the meeting,  which involves respect the turns and listen each other.  Besides, the teacher exposed several ideas about the child development supported by arguments based on tests and  material. Also, she gave some suggestions about how to deal with the child problems. Finally, they got to an agreement in order to meet again.

 In general terms, the interview seems organized, positive and completed.

 After the interview we heard some criticism from a counselor about how the interview was carried out. She standed out  the idea of the previous organization (schedule, timing and material) of the meeting .The place of the interview must be comfortable and confidential. She recommended not to use a technical language; to set mutual goals and to encourage parents to take some notes if they consider necessary. Moreover, she concluded saying that it is important to make a reflexion after the meeting in order to self-evaluate yourself and the interview.

 Here,  I  show a video about  a funny  parents teacher meeting. Who knows what can happen in this kind of meetings?
