Are you the type of teacher who would rather grade 100 papers a day instead of making one phone call home to a parent about their child? That was me. I was that teacher! I was always nervous to contact my students' families. Afraid I would say the wrong thing or send the wrong message. However, I now feel confident and connected with each family. Through intentional communication I was able to develop relationships with my students' families and help my students become more successful at school. Gone are the days when students tell their parents they have learned nothing. If you are interested in learning different ways to intentionally communicate with families and the benefits I have seen, this is the session for you! Give your parents the information they need to discuss their child's day! Please join me for a great discussion on becoming a better communicator for your students.
