Parent-Teacher Conferences: Strong Relationships Help Children Learn

Though critically important for the success and wellbeing of children in school, parent-teacher conferences can be fraught with emotion. Teachers are the experts on childhood development and academic growth, while parents and caregivers specialize in the child as an individual. Both understandings are necessary for a whole and healthy picture of the young person. By maintaining the focus on the success of the child, parents and teachers can work together to build strong systems of support that benefit everyone.
