10 Tips to Make the Most of Your Parent-Teacher Conference
After the Conference
9. Update your child.
Talk to your child about what happened. It’s important to share anything positive that you and the teacher discussed. But it’s also important not to shy away from problems or challenges. If there are next steps, make sure your child knows what they are.
10. Follow up.
If you and the teacher agreed on next steps, follow up in the next week or so to see how things are working out. It’s useful to have check-ins before the next conference. At each check-in, ask for an update, but also be ready to share what you’ve been doing on any action steps.
Although parent-teacher conferences are short, they’re a good time to learn more about your child’s school experience. For more help, try out a parent-teacher conference survey to build understanding with your child’s teacher.

10 Tips to Make the Most of Your November 14 Parent-Teacher Conference...list continued from previous days' suggestions:
8. Figure out next steps.
Save a few minutes at the end of the conference for next steps. Depending on what you’ve talked about, here’s what you might suggest:
Staying in touch: “How can we keep talking about this? Could I get weekly feedback for the next month—maybe a quick email on Fridays?”
In-class help: “We talked about giving my child more support in class. What should we look for in the coming weeks to decide if it’s working or not?”
School services: “I’d like to meet with the school to talk about extra reading instruction. What information should we gather before that meeting?”
