1. Make a thank you card
Every parent comes to the school to attend the parent-teacher meeting with great interest and care for their children, regardless of their children’s academic performance Whether they are outstanding or lagging behind, parents love their children the same way.
Every time there is a parent-teacher meeting, you can let the children know a few days in advance whether it is the father or the mother who will attend the parent-teacher meeting. On the day of the parent-teacher meeting, the class teacher will set aside a class to let the children carefully make a A gratitude card: The card should be made by the child himself, and the gratitude to the parents should be expressed between the lines. And let them compete to see whose gratitude card is the most sincere.
When holding a parent-teacher meeting, place the gratitude card on the corner of the table where the child is sitting. When parents come to the classroom, the first thing they see is the words written by the child to themselves, such as: "Dad, I love you. ! Thank you for your eleven years of upbringing! I will definitely repay you in the future!” Another example: “Mom, thank you for coming to the parent-teacher conference today.” Your heart will be filled with excitement, happiness and relief.
2. Move parents with warm details
(1) Set up guide signs
Many parents may not be able to find the classroom where their children are when they come to school for the first time. It is best to set up signposts at the school gate and arrange for students or teachers to receive you. Parents will be moved by your considerate actions.
(2) Set up receptionists
For each parent-teacher meeting, the teacher can set up two receptionists. The receptionist's task is to lead the parents who come to the parent-teacher meeting to sign and accurately bring them to their children's seats, and serve tea, so that parents feel respected, and by the way, they also develop their children's reception ability.
(3) Environmental layout is very important
Rendering the atmosphere, highlighting the theme, and conveying information all depend on environmental layout.
There should be a special edition of the parent-teacher conference on the blackboard, which can be a display of educational and teaching achievements, the children's inner thoughts, or a sketch of quality education... Let students design, and parents will be more I would like to see my children’s works.
As for the placement of seats, mouth-shaped, back-shaped, and arc-shaped are all good choices. Children's homework, test papers and works can be placed on the table and bound.
In order to create a relaxing atmosphere, background music can also be played in the classroom to help parents relieve their sense of embarrassment and tension.
3. Sit in the child’s seat
Where do parents sit during parent-teacher meetings? Are you just picking a seat to sit in? Every time a parent-teacher meeting is held, the class teacher can ask the children to clearly tell the parents which row and seat they are sitting in a few days in advance, so that parents know that they should sit in their children's seats during the parent-teacher meeting.
Sitting like this will help the class teacher get to know each parent better. For example, some parents don't like to deal with teachers by nature, and they usually have less communication with the class teacher. If they were allowed to choose, they would choose a seat near the back. The biggest advantage of sitting in your own child's seat is that the class teacher can match each parent's number. Moreover, sitting in the seat of one's own child will also have a supervising effect on parents to listen carefully and take notes attentively.
4. Telling stories can move people more than telling truths
Parents go to school to find out how their children are doing. If you can tell real stories about what happened to your children from time to time during your speech, I believe parents will listen carefully.
If the class teacher pays attention to the students' daily life on campus and records it, and plays relevant videos or PPTs at parent-teacher meetings, how can they not be moved and support your work?
The story can be told by the class teacher, or by the subject teacher or even the students themselves. For example, the daily work of the class is reported by the monitor, the cultural and sports activities of the class are reported by the cultural and sports committee, the learning situation and ranking in the school are reported by the study committee, and the class management and good people and good deeds are reported by the organization committee. In fact, the students are the ones who know the daily management of the class best, and the students report on the various activities of the class. Such parent-teacher conferences are very popular with parents.
5. Set aside interactive time for parents and student representatives to speak
Although the teacher faces the parents of the whole class, if parents are given the opportunity to speak, they will participate Motivation will be higher. If several student representatives and parent representatives can be arranged to speak, it will arouse more outcry from parents.
In a parent meeting, it is generally appropriate to arrange for 2 to 4 student representatives to speak, including outstanding student representatives and progressive student representatives to introduce their experiences, allowing children to briefly talk about how they study hard, How to study efficiently, etc. It doesn’t have to be long, just about 3 minutes.
6. "Show" students' works
Every time a parent-teacher meeting is held, the class teacher must work hard to show off the children's achievements.
The first part can display students’ homework books, exercise books, writing books, etc., allowing parents to understand through comparison what problems exist in their children’s learning and where their comprehensive abilities are in the class. After parents return home, they will naturally urge their children to meet high standards.
The second part can display students’ handiwork. For example, the children's weekly class tabloid for a semester, the calligraphy and painting works participating in the school cultural festival, the designed class emblem, etc.
Don't underestimate these small pieces of paper and calligraphy and painting works. It can cultivate children's multi-faceted abilities, such as writing ability, painting ability, information collection ability and aesthetic ability, etc. Parents will be very surprised to see works soaked in children's wisdom and sweat.
The third part can be interspersed with videos of progressive children singing songs or videos of children performing talents. What makes parents most excited is their children’s progress.
7. Allow parents to reflect after the meeting
Successful parent-teacher meetings can always arouse strong feelings in the hearts of parents during the meeting, and can also bring positive emotions after the meeting. They were shocked. In order for parents to have something to think about during the meeting and gain enlightenment after the meeting, they should focus on the following two aspects:
First, use examples to lead the way. Ask some parents of outstanding students to introduce their educational experiences, touch the hearts of other parents, and prompt them to think about what to do in the future; secondly, you might as well recommend some good books to parents to cultivate and educate their children, so that parents can trigger deeper thinking through reading.
8. Organize constructive opinions and give feedback to parents
The class teacher can discover the strengths and weaknesses of the child through parent meetings, which can lay the foundation for targeted communication between the two parties in the future. At the same time, when parents attend parent-teacher conferences, they most want to gain experience and guidance on family education. In this regard, teachers can contact some parents in advance to guide them to summarize successful educational experiences from different aspects, and after the parent-teacher meeting, timely sort out these opinions and give feedback to other parents.
