15/4: Parent Teacher Interviews

Parent Teacher Interviews

15th April 2016

Pictured below were my Timetable schedules for our Term 1 Parent Teacher Interviews. As I only teach students in years 9 (split into day students and boarding students) & 11 I had to attend a total of 3 nights.

Below the pictures is my written reflection on all 3 of the parent teacher interview nights.





Reflection of parent interviews:

Before the parent interviews I made sure to do some prep to help me feel confident while talking to parents. By having the notes all in one place I could also skim over the notes in between interviews.

Prep included:
  • taking booking sheet off interview site (as pictured above)
  • date/ time/ student and parent names
  • Year 9s:
    • attitude & effort grades
    • CBC work hand in
    • mid unit checkin grade
    • any comments
  • Year 11s:
    • interim attitude & effort grades
    • Term Order grade + A&E grade
    • any comments
*These notes for year levels have been saved

As the Year 9 interviews came first I felt quite nervous for them. Not only was it my first ever parent-teacher interviews but I also didn't know my Year 9s as well as my Year 11 classes. The Year 11 interviews came easier having had practice and also seeing most of them 4 times a week.

Notes were made on my spreadsheet in regards to the direction that students should be heading in, along with any other notes mentioned by parents, especially in regards to contacting them. 

Moving forward I could possibly contact parents in Term 2 via phone or email to catch up and review their child's progress.
