Getting Parents to Conferences
November 08, 2006
Parents are not required to attend conferences in our school, so to get them to come, I offer the students a free assignment coupon if their parent comes to see me. I give the parents the coupon to take home and give to their child. I've found that kids will go home and beg their mom or dad to come in, even if it is just to talk to me. The coupon can be used for an assignment that students have not completed, don't want to complete, or to replace their lowest grade of the quarter with full points. I have many graded assignments so the coupons don't affect their grades much, but they sure do work hard to get their parents to see me!
