It is on it that the class teacher meets with the parents of the students, discussing organizational issues, problems of education, academic performance, informs them of important information. On how seriously the class teacher approaches the organization of the parent meeting, its effectiveness depends.

one
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. Rationally educated middle-aged parents. Men are more skeptical than women, so they will require more compelling arguments. Women are more susceptible to emotions and feelings, so be more restrained with them.

Consider the length of the parent meeting. Count the conversation for 30-40 minutes no more. During this time, you must convey to the parents the main purpose of the meeting, and this idea should be repeated at the beginning and at the end of communication in various forms.

The topic depends on what you are going to talk about: the transitional age, the daily routine, the relationship between students, and 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 a “skeleton” of conversation before your eyes.

Your speech should be free. The big problem for young teachers is the excitement. If the teacher is worried, his words immediately lose their authority, so try to think through the answers to possible questions of the parents in advance. It is possible that you will have to write your speech.

When planning a conversation, remember that parents become involuntarily interested only in the first 5 minutes. Further, it all depends on how you manage to interest them. This should be just a conversation in which parents will take an active part, and not the performance of one actor.

If you plan to talk about student performance, then never talk about poor student performance or the poor behavior of a particular student with all parents. Many of those whose children become such "stars" of the class simply do not attend meetings so as not to blush at all. You can praise students for good grades or behavior by finding good words for everyone. And work with parents of difficult children individually.
