Throughout
the year I initiate conferences with parents on a regular basis. A few years
ago I decided to try to make it easier for parents to request a conference with
me, but couldn’t figure out the best way to do it. The next week I walked into
the computer lab and saw the solution to my problem! Marykate, a long time
teacher, created this fabulous conference request form that I now use several times a year.
At
the beginning of the year, I send home a short note along with the form that
lets parents know when I’m available for conferences and that they can request
one any time they like. When a parent returns the form to ask for a conference
I print another one to give them at our meeting. Additionally, I send home
another request form and a reminder note about how to use it to all parents
halfway through the year.
