I participated in virtual parent/teacher conferences for 5th grade
with my cooperating teacher, Mrs. Shannon. In particular, I felt the conference with Jackson’s mother (Ms. Work) was the most beneficial for my professional growth and the growth of Jackson. I participated in the collaboration of school professionals and parents and learned how teachers express concerns and reply to parental concerns reasonably. I helped by sharing my experiences with Jackson and by advocating for Jackson to come to school four days a week. Jackson benefitted from coming four days a week because we were able to assist him with keeping track of assignments and help him stay focused during class.
