Plan for Parent Teacher Conference Prepare a send-home that invites parents to meet with you, states the
e purpose and time of the conference. Prepare an agenda that you share with parents before the conference. Include such topics as your general impression of the child, his or her progress in each academic area, test scores, your goals for the child, and strategies you will use to meet goals. Collect samples of student work test scores, and reports from other teachers where appropriate to display. Schedule enough time for questions and discussion. Make the conference area as comfortable as possible by providing; adult-sized chairs, soft, relaxing music, and refreshments/snacks to parents at ease. Greet parents at the door and sit with them at a table or in chairs facing/next to each other Provide paper and pens, for parents to take notes to follow up on at home Have a table of materials that parents can take home for example, information on homework and grading policies, suggestions for how to help children at home and at school, and invitations to school activities or parent group meetings. Speak plainly and professionally. Begin by discussing positive aspects of the childs experiences in your class, start and end with the students strengths. Listen attentively to what parents have to say. Review the main points of discussion and the steps identified to address them. Finally, set up an agreement for following up, thank parents for coming and let them know youre available to work with them through phone calls, e-mail or further meetings.
Students Portfolio Checklist A portfolio tells the story of a student. Through the portfolio processes of collecting, selecting, and organizing, an individual is actively involved in constructing the story of her/himself as a student. The pieces which are included in the portfolio demonstrate what that student knows and can do. Below, is a list of things that I want my students to put in their portfolio. They have the choice to include their best work, at the back of the portfolio they can have one or two of their worst work but it is optional. Your name/grade/school name sheet Written Projects Quizzes/Tests Homework Journals Artifacts (art) Your best piece of creative writing (short story, fairy tale, poem, etc.) Assignments Anything you would like to keep, that you are proud of, that shows what you have done this year, such as extra credit, photos, and peer tutoring or other activities.

Dear Parents/Guardians:
Parent-Teacher Conferences are an important opportunity where we can sit down and discuss your childs progress in school. I will be having Parent/Teacher conference on Friday March 21st, 2014 starting at 6:30 p.m. I am looking forward to meeting with each one of you to discuss your childs progress. Im asking that your child accompany you to the conference. Because I believe that your child needs to be an active participant in his/her education.

Conflict Resolution Conflict is when two or more people are not getting along. Conflict resolution skills are important to a child's happiness, and learning to resolve differences with others is an essential life skill. When children develop these skills their environment will be more peaceful. If there is a problem in my classroom some ways which Id resolve it are as follow: Teacher will ask students to calm down. She will tell them to count to five and then get down to the students level and talk to them calmly. Let them know she understands their feelings. Describe what she sees that they're feeling, example I see that you are very upset. Don't ask questions until they are calmer. Find out information. Asks questions such as what in order to find out what happened that made them upset. Repeat what Ive found out. Use clear statements to retell what I heard them say. Ask them for ideas to solve the problem. Have the students offer ideas and solutions to their problem. Stay close by for support. After the students agree to the solution, stay close at hand to be sure things stay calm. Praise them for playing well together. Tell them that I am proud of them for solving the problem themselves.
