Parent-Teacher Conferences
A contract service is required each marking period (4 per year). Examples of contract
services are: school board meeting; faculty meeting; parent/teacher conferences; PTA or
PTO meeting; van buren intermediate school district learning center visitation;
individualized education plan (IEP) meeting; 504 meeting; or, approved by
instructor/coordinator. The main idea of this activity is to participate in as many out-ofschool activities as possible so you can see the depth of what a teacher is responsible for.

I got to talk to teachers, parents, and a few of the students who tagged along with their
parents. I learned how to introduce myself professionally and confidently to parents and how to
communicate their parent language (which I interpreted as what are you doing in my childs
classroom, what good are you doing for their education, and how is my child doing with your
services). I learned that I love talking to parents. I dont know whats different about it. Maybe it
is because parents are (hopefully) more mature than people my age, so they talk more mature and
converse better. I do not like sitting at a table for hours waiting for people to come over
wondering about how the teacher is doing his or her job and how the student is doing in that
teachers class. It gets lonely, sometimes. That will definitely be a low point in being a teacher.
Compared to the action of the classroom, the kinetic energy drops dramatically.
