It is a great way to highlight things you don't want to forget to talk about. I also make a copy for the parents so they can go home with what we discussed in writing and talk about it with the child and other parent if only one parent attended the conference. Good Luck!<br />-Jaime<br /><a href="http://brightconcepts4teachers.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Bright Concepts 4 Teachers</a><br />Bright Concepts 4 Teachershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144274157371326534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366946097179083776.post-44264514027912347482012-10-29T17:44:58.463-07:002012-10-29T17:44:58.463-07:00Gotta love the sparkles!! :) Thanks for stopping b...Gotta love the sparkles!! :) Thanks for stopping by, Jamie!Kate Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07709595474926024219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366946097179083776.post-13030240155430554182012-10-29T17:41:41.354-07:002012-10-29T17:41:41.354-07:00Cute idea!!

I require that my students come to the conference and share their strengths and goals. I also share areas that I'm proud of and areas that the student can improve. Then I send the student away for the last 5 minutes (just in case the parents have something private they wish to discuss, which has never happened yet)and pretty much just hand the parents the report card and say that this reflects what we just discussed. I also have work samples out for the parents to review too. So far, this has worked great and I did not have to sit there during the conference and point to the report card. It makes the meting a lot more personal. Good luck with conferences!<br /><br /><i><b><a href="www.therealteachersoforangecounty.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The REAL Teachers of Orange County</a></b></i>RealOCteachershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666018721012946556noreply@blogger.com
