<br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Parent-teacher meetings are essential for sharing
inputs about students and making collaborative efforts for their development
and behaviour modification where needed. No teacher can work alone with a child
and expect to get successful results without the co operation of his/her
parents. Therefore, let us go over some strategies that will help us reach out
to parents and win their support in helping the student.</span><br />
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Create a welcoming environment and
greet the parents respectfully. Provide a glass of water and a cup of tea .Be
mindful of not acting superior or authoritative to parents who come from humble
backgrounds. Ensure privacy for discussion. Do not discuss individual student
problems in front of others. It is embarrassing for both the student and the
parents.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">You are likely to meet a majority of
parents who are semi-educated and from lower socio-economic strata, with
limited exposure and awareness. It is a challenging task for a teacher to explain
issues to them in a simple and comprehensible manner. Be patient and explain
basic details of an issue to ensure that they understand what you are talking
about.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Be well versed with the issues you
need to discuss about the student and note them down beforehand. Be mindful
about taking up persistently occurring and serious issues about a student’s
performance or behaviour only. Do not make a long list of all petty issues; it
will result in blurring the major ones and make you look vindictive.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Try and start with positive comments about
the child before you come to the problems. It will make the parent feel that
you have an objective approach and are not trying to defame their ward. Ask
them about their child’s behaviour, needs and strengths and listen carefully.
Get to know about the family environment and problems which may be affecting
the student’s performance and behaviour in school. Explain your expectations of
the parents’ role in tacking problems. Be polite and all times and avoid
accusing the parents.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Avoid being judgemental about the
parents or talking down to them. They may be ignorant and less educated than
you, but deserve respect.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Convey clear goals. Be specific about
what you and the family will do to help the student and how you will
communicate with each other. Create an action plan for improvement as well as a
timeline. Winding up a meeting with complaints about the child but no action
plan will be non-productive.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">One meeting is never enough if you
aim at bringing quantifiable changes in a student. Continue with follow up
meetings and remember to convey appreciation and motivation for every
improvement made by the student.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Remain ethical. Some mistakes to
avoid:</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Do not speak negatively about the school administrators or other
teachers. Do not complain about the school and its policies.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">&nbsp;Do not compare two students or
discuss another student’s behaviour, family or performance. </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Avoid blaming parents for a child’s performance or behaviour. </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Do not make fun of any student or his/her family.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">End on a positive note. Even if a
parent is unreasonable and difficult to convince, do not allow the conversation
to turn into a bitter argument.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 39pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: &quot;symbol&quot;; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt &quot;times new roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Some parents will tend to offer small
favours to you, as had been the tradition in the rural education system. Be
very clear about a firm no so as not to compromise your stature and respect as
a teacher.</span></div>

security of life and wellbeing or uncertainty about the future, it is likely to
bring about a feeling of dread, fear and stress in most people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The ongoing Covid19 pandemic is one such
challenging period. It has caused an eruption of various forms of psychological
and physical stress in vulnerable persons. The symptoms may show themselves in
form of heightened anxiety levels, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,
claustrophobia, anger management issues and sleep disturbances among others. In
fact, latent propensities for different psychological disorders may surface in
stressful times. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

mindfulness and self control. Watch and control your irritation levels. We are

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Sit in a quiet place with no distractions like TV or noise. Switch off your mobile phone and put it away in another room.</li>
<li>Sit with your back straight without slouching or bending your neck or shoulders forward. Hold the book up 12 -15" away from your eyes.</li>
<li>Make sure that there is adequate light available. Use a lamp if needed.</li>
<li>Make sure you get a minimum of eight hours of sleep.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Eat healthy food and avoid too much tea or coffee.</li>
<li>Your brain works best when:</li>
<ul>
<li>It is well rested</li>
<li>It is hydrated - drinking water is important</li>
<li>It is drawing energy from enough nutrition.</li>
<li>It is unstressed - stress hinders learning.</li>
<li>It has seen the material learnt several times - repeat and write your chapters.</li>
</ul>
<li>Take short breaks after 40 -60 minutes of sitting - stretch, walk in fresh air, talk and refresh yourself.</li>
<li>Make a timetable and stick to it.</li>
<li>Break down your chapter into smaller portions.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Write down points in each portion and learn them- create a link in them to remember.</li>
<li>Write down the points. Read several times again.</li>
<li>Write down answers to questions without looking at the book.</li>
<li>Focus when you read- avoid reading aloud.</li>
</ul>
