Practice Makes Perfect

Fall is in the air.  With the leaves and the temperature changing that can only mean one thing:  Parent Teacher Conference time is here!

This year our Mentor Coaches, Carol Kesl, Jennie Lorenzan, and Sue Atwater are working with first and second year teachers to help them prepare for conversations with parents. 

By holding mock conferences new teachers can practice their delivery of information, learn how to share delicate information, and make sure they are prepared to answer all the questions parents may have about their child’s academics, and social behaviors. 

We know that practice makes perfect and if you have never attended conferences before as a parent or a teacher, it can be stressful.  At Linn-Mar Community Schools we want the very best for our students and we know how important the Parent-Teacher Partnership is for student success.
