Minnesota Timberwolves: First Quarter Conferences
As a former teacher, conferences were always a bit of a mixed bag. On the hard side were the additional four hours of work tacked on top of a school day and the social anxiety of having the first in-depth conversations with parents, never fully knowing what kind of energy they would bring to the conversation. However, whether a student was struggling or thriving, the majority of the time, the conversations were very beneficial in getting everyone on the same page.
Each conversation really came down to the three main points:
Something the student is doing well
An area of improvement
The question of “Is there anything I can be doing as a teacher to better support them?”
