3 tips for teachers for more confidence in dealing with parents
The second episode of the film series «12 Impulses for Teachers» with psychologists and learning coaches Stefanie Rietzler and Fabian Grolimund focuses on the relationship between parents and teachers.
Working with parents has become more demanding in recent decades. Many teachers feel underprepared to conduct parent-teacher conferences. Conversations in which answers often have to be found to very important and urgent questions in a very short space of time, which puts everyone involved under pressure.
The episode shows concrete examples of how you as a teacher can improve your relationship with parents and conduct successful parent-teacher dialogues.
You will learn:
- What really matters at parents' evenings.
- Why it is so important that you take more interest in the parents at the parent-teacher conference and inform them less - and how you can achieve this by preparing yourself for what you want to ask instead of what you want to say.
- How you can get parents on board in the event of difficulties and work together for a child instead of getting lost in mutual recriminations.
In the following episodes, we try to find answers to very specific questions:
- What makes a good school? (Episode 1)
- How can I gain more confidence when working with parents?
- How do I motivate my students - without rewards and punishments?
- How do I give effective feedback?
- How do I promote my students' self-efficacy?
- And many more...
