Have you found yourself shaking your head in disbelief over an interaction with parents of gifted students? We expose common causes of parent-teacher collaboration failure (based on peer-reviewed research) and effective methods to overcome them. Equipping teachers and administrators to obtain parent buy-in, this session gives practical (and humorous) guidance for overcoming misunderstandings and missed opportunities by establishing common ground.
Learning Objectives:
Learn to communicate classroom and developmental objectives with parents in ways they can understand.
Understand the data about why parent-teacher collaborations fail in order to align goals across home and school environments.
Access practical resources useful for both parent education and communication.
