Middle Marking Period Conferences

October 06, 2009

From Sharon L, a teacher in Tuckerton, New Jersey

To make the most of parent conferences, we have them in the middle of the marking period rather than at the end. This allows time to implement strategies to make the student more successful before the report card is issued. We also require the student to come with their parent, which keeps everyone on the same page and keeps misinformation to a minimum.
