205: Get Ready for Parent-Teacher Interviews

How do you prepare for parent-teacher interviews? 

Let’s talk about some of the best things you can do in advance and on the day to have your parent-teacher interviews run as smoothly as possible. 

I know they can cause some nerves because you don’t always know what you’re walking into when it comes to parents, and after two years of irregular schooling, there are a lot of things to address with them. I want to share my tips for covering everything you need to and keeping it within your time limits. 

Prep starts at the beginning of the year, but even if you’re just getting started as you near parent-teacher interviews, there are still things you can do! 

If you have parent-teacher interviews looming, it’s time to get prepped and ready for them, and this episode will help you get started.
