Parents' meeting is an integral part of the educational process. It is there that the class teacher meets with the parents of the students, discussing organizational issues, problems of education, academic performance, and gives them important information. The effectiveness of the parent meeting depends on how seriously the class teacher takes the organization of the parent meeting.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the age of the parents, their social status and educational level. So, parents of young age without higher education emotionally perceive information. Educated middle-aged parents are rationally suited. Men are more skeptical than women, so they will need stronger arguments. Women are more receptive to emotions and feelings, so be more discreet with them.
Step 2
Consider the duration of the parent meeting. Calculate a conversation for no more than 30-40 minutes. During this time, you should convey to the parents the main purpose of the meeting, and this thought should be repeated both at the beginning and at the end of the communication in different forms.
Step 3
The topic depends on what you are going to talk about: about the transitional age, about the daily routine, about the relationship between students, about working with them. You should have a summary of the conversation, its plan. Of course, you will not read on paper, but it is necessary to have the "skeleton" of the conversation in front of your eyes.
Step 4
Your speech should be fluent. Anxiety is a big problem for young teachers. If the teacher is worried, his words immediately lose credibility, so try to think in advance about the answers to possible parental questions. It is possible that you will have to write your speech.
Step 5
When planning a conversation, remember that parents have involuntary interest only in the first 5 minutes. Further, it all depends on how much you have time to interest them. It should be just a conversation in which the parents will take an active part, and not a performance by one actor.
Step 6
If you plan to talk about student performance, never talk about a particular student's poor performance or behavior in front of all parents. Many of those whose children become such "stars" of the class simply do not come to the meetings, so as not to blush in front of everyone. You can praise students for good grades or behavior by finding good words for each. And work with parents of difficult children individually.
