    Danielle Green created a communication plan for parent-teacher conferences that focuses on four key areas: planning, language, evidence, and collaboration. The plan includes gathering student work and data to share, being prepared with questions, and ensuring an accommodating environment. Danielle will use respectful language and allow time for both parties to speak. Specific examples and student work will be used as evidence to support comments about learning and behavior. Finally, the plan aims to set collaborative goals and determine next steps through discussion between teachers and families.

    Communication with parents: Conference Plan

    1. Plan for communication with families (PLAN)


     Gather student work, notes, assessments, data.
     Be aware of the families preferred language.
     Create an environment for comfortable communication (face to face)
     Identify questions to ask families
     Get to know the resources and knowledge used by families.
     Be culturally sensitive

    2. Use open, respectful language and maintain a professional tone. (LANGUAGE)


     Maintain appropriate body language, eye contact, and actively listen and allow
    time for both parents and teachers to talk.
     If an interpreter is needed, I would have the interpreter introduce themselves
    using the preferred language.
     Begin by greeting family members in a warm and friendly manner.
     Ask families about student’s home life; academically; behaviorally.
     Begin by sharing with the family’s positive remarks about their student. Talk in a
    way that shows how you care about the student and appreciate them.
     Give families opportunities to share their comments, opinions, and questions.

    3. Use intentional language/evidence to share information about academic success,


    behavior, and development with families. (EVIDENCE)
     Use parent-friendly language when talking to families.
     Give specific examples about students learning and behavior.
     Use student work, notes, assessment, and data to provide evidence to support
    your comments about student.
     Discuss behavioral issues by using the sandwich method; positive remark,
    behavioral issue, and positive closing remark.

    4. Collaborate with families to set goals for students/determine the next steps.
    (COLLABORATION)
     Discuss potential goals and invite families to share goals.
     Teacher and families will work together to set goals for individual student.
     Discuss goals and how they can be accomplished within a time frame.
     Review the main points discussed earlier in the meeting.
     Follow up meeting to monitor progress and access goals, as needed when
    appropriate.
     Create a line of communication (journal, notes home) to communicate with
    parents about behavioral/academic progress and if there is a need for a follow-
    up meeting.
    5. Communication Plan Reflection
     My communication plan meets the four areas of communication by including the
    processes of planning, respectful language, providing evidence, and
    collaboration. My plan meets the planning aspect by ensuring I have a
    comfortable, appropriate place to hold a parent-teacher conference. I also will
    plan by having student work samples, assessments, and data accessible. I will be
    prepared by having questions pre-prepared to ask. If a translator is needed, I will
    be sure to provide a translator and give families materials in preferred language.
    My plan includes respectful language by incorporating friendly and appropriate
    body language during the meeting while also giving families the time to express
    any comments, concerns, or questions they may have. The evidence that is
    present in my communication plan includes evidence of student samples using
    data, assessments, and other means of work. This allows me to give families
    specific details and examples of any concerns. It also allows me to show student
    work after positive remarks, as well. The plan I created includes the availability
    for collaboration between families and the teacher through sharing of goals and
    abilities. The collaboration is evident through creation of a line of
    communication between families and teachers through a journal or take-home
    notes. I believe that my communication plan includes the four domains of
    appropriate family communication and I plan to use this communication plan
    within my future classroom.
