Journal Entry 12


The first thing to remember in scheduling a conference,  is making sure you have all your information correct. Its important to do your research on the information you plan to discuss. I will call the parents and sat up a time and date for the conference. Making sure the area that we will  have our conference in was quite and the lighting was good, is important.  I would have all resource information available to hand out to the parents. Resouce information doesn't have to be all negative, you can also add information about the committee, up coming children/family events, or places  just to take the family out.
   The conference, I will make sure I focus  on what the child made the most progress  in such as in writing thier name, or clean up with out assistance.I would make sure I let the parents know what activitiy the child likes most, such as working puzzles alone. I would tell the parents what has made the child excited, such as feeding our class pet, or helpping other students. I would go over our policy on how we guide children when they our having a bad day. I would tell the parents  how using redirection at home can help the child. In our center we guide the children into other areas of play, (redirection). I will give the parents my hand outs on things to try at  home. In conclusion; I will ask the parents if they have any qestion or concerns. I will thank them for coming,  and leave the Schools number if they need to speak with me.
