Explorez tous les épisodes du podcast Be Evolved: Empowering Parents and Educators to Help Students Succeed

In this episode, Becky Reback is diving into one of the most universal parenting experiences: parent-teacher conferences.

We're sharing a step-by-step approach to making conferences more than just a 10-minute check-in. This is about being the leader of your child’s learning life — without making it weird or adversarial. We’ll talk about what schools are responsible for, what we as parents bring to the table, and how to meet in the middle.

We’ll walk through how to prepare, participate, and follow up in a way that builds strong collaboration with teachers and sets your child up for real success.

Takeaways:

• How to evaluate and engage your child before conferences.
• The “buzzwords” teachers use and how to read between the lines.
• How to follow up like a pro without turning into that parent.

If you want more personalized support, reach out — we love helping families create clear action plans.

In this episode, Mary Miele talks about how asking questions opens up opportunities for learning. When we tell our kids and students what they are experiencing or feeling, then we limit their opportunities for growth and well-being. In comparison, when we ask children and students questions about their learning and experiences, they are enabled to identify and address the root causes of their challenges. They have permission to build skills. They become successful students.
