Parents' meeting is not the most fun event. The same type of reports on the success of children, eternal "scolding and praise", monetary collection. If you are a teacher, and even more so in elementary grades, try to diversify the meetings and add a touch of humor and improvisation to them.
Instructions
Step 1
Who Said Meeting Must Be In Class? Try to break this stereotype and invite your parents, for example, to your home for a cup of tea. In a warm home atmosphere, people relax and better perceive information for thought. Of course, this should be done when you are already a little familiar with the class.
Step 2
But a pleasant, and at the same time useful, meeting with tea and coffee can be held even in the classroom. Such an event can be timed to coincide with any holiday. Have each parent bring homemade cookies or Grandma's cabbage pie. The teacher and the parents of his students should understand each other and be mutually polite. After all, you have to meet regularly for several years and by joint efforts help the kids to get used to society.
Step 3
Holding a meeting with children can be original. Let them feel like adults and bear responsibility for their actions on an equal basis with their parents. Having heard about himself from the outside, trying on the role of a parent, the child can rethink his behavior and view of learning in general. Plus, this will help you get more attendance at meetings.
Step 4
If parents are unhappy with their children's grades or your presentation, hold the meeting as a lesson. Let the adults experience your teaching method for themselves and feel like they are children. This way, together you can understand all the pros and cons, which in the future will help to establish better contact with children.
Step 5
Try not to scold children in front of other adults. Better to make separate appointments with the parents of the failing students. Remember that many adults who come to parent meeting for the first time are as worried as their children on September 1st. Help them adapt to school life and they will help you raise young learners.
