The educational process at school is based on the interaction of the teaching staff with a particular child and his parents. The result directly depends on the effectiveness of such work. The most revealing type of communication between teachers and parents is holding meetings.
It is common practice to hold school-wide events for parallel classes. Within a particular team, it is possible to quickly solve a number of problems that have arisen.
The need for extracurricular activities in an educational institution is directly due to the summing up of the intermediate and final results of the year. The subject of school-wide parent meetings usually involves consideration of issues that relate to the basic regulatory documents of the educational institution, the results of its activities for a certain period, as well as long-term plans.
Meetings for parents of students from parallel groups most often include discussion of issues related to the graduation of graduates or the admission of children of 6 years of age. The theme of school-wide parent-teacher meetings may also be related to extra-curricular activities.
The spectrum of consideration of issues onparent meetings of a certain class is most often the most variable, due to the more "mobile" issues in each specific children's team.
Trust relationship between teacher and parents
Organizing the effective work of the children's team at school is the main task of the class teacher. Its implementation is possible only if a trusting atmosphere is created between the three sides of the educational process: teacher - student - parents. This indicates the high professionalism of the teacher, which, accordingly, in the future will allow you to get the highest educational results.
The most important tool of the class teacher in creating a comfortable psychological climate is the organization of interaction between the teacher and the parents of students through extracurricular activities.
Preparing for parent meeting
When preparing for the event, it is necessary to draw up a plan for the parent meeting, which involves choosing a topic, participants, form and time of its holding. This will ensure the effectiveness of the communication between the parties.
An approximate plan for a parent-teacher meeting should briefly reflect the issues to be discussed, as well as the estimated time for their consideration. A prerequisite for preparing for the event is to notify moms and dads about the date and time of the planned meeting.
Relevance of parent-teacher meetings
One of the keymoments in this activity - the selection of topics for parent meetings, which should reflect the current problems of the children's team and contribute to their solution.
The activities of teachers are based primarily on long-term planning. This applies to both educational and educational work. That is, as a rule, the topics of parent meetings should be considered by the class teacher ahead of time. The professionalism of the teacher is manifested in the fact that it is timely to respond to the situation in the children's team and contribute to the resolution of problem situations in it.
Consideration of current topics at parent-teacher meetings is facilitated by the close contact of the class teacher with children and their parents. To help in choosing the topic of the parent-teacher meeting, you can also conduct a preliminary survey of moms and dads.
The teacher must take into account the pressing problems of a particular class. Naturally, academic performance, behavior, psychological climate in the team remain the basic issues. But, in addition to the main issues, it is necessary to consider problems that are directly related to the individual characteristics of students, their specific behavioral patterns, etc.
Forms for parent meetings
The most acceptable form of meetings is dialogue. It is this type of communication that will help establish partnerships between the teacher and parents. The work should be based on mutual respect, understanding of the goals of the educational process. This iswill help to strengthen the authority of the teacher and achieve positive results in teaching children.
It is also possible to use the forms of debate, round table, lectures in case of invitation of additional specialists (psychologists, doctors). The involvement of additional specialists will help in solving the narrow problems that parents face, but do not know how to solve them due to a lack of knowledge and relevant experience.
The above forms allow you to achieve positive results, create an atmosphere of trust and unite the efforts of parents and teachers.
Time for parent-teacher conferences
As mentioned above, the basis of an effective educational process is a trusting atmosphere. When choosing the time of the meeting, it is necessary to take into account the wishes and possibilities of the parties. This will indicate that the teacher and parents are in partnership.
Planning for the year
Prospective planning of parent-teacher meetings for the year provides for a comprehensive consideration of the problems of the educational process. And here, of course, it is necessary to plan the topics of school-wide parent-teacher meetings and class events. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the age of students, to provide for problems that may arise in the coming year. The theme of parent meetings for the year should be thought out in advance.
The main issues that can be considered in this context are: "School's daily routine","Organization of educational activities of schoolchildren", "The role of the family in shaping the personality of the child", "Partnership between the school and parents in raising a child", "Age and individual characteristics of children", "He althy lifestyle", "Aggression and children", "Violence against children”, “Summing up (quarters, half-years, years)”. The topics of these meetings are infinitely wide, but the focus is on the personality of the child, its development and achievement of educational goals.
Theme of parent meetings: Grade 2
It is necessary to say separately about the nuances of holding events for parents of elementary school students.
An important issue to be discussed at the meeting is the grading system. This is due to the fact that in the 2nd grade, children already have marks in the diary, which, in turn, have a psychological impact on both children and adults. Parents often perceive assessments as a categorical encouragement or censure of the child. And this attitude of adults, of course, is reflected in the psyche of students. It is important to understand that a negative assessment only signals the presence of a problem that needs to be solved together with the child. A positive score is just a stepping stone to further knowledge.
Also, when planning parent-teacher meetings, you need to dwell on the problem of preparing homework. The fundamental component of today's school life is the self-organization of children, the ability to logicallymeditate.
Theme of parent meetings: Grade 11
At an older age, the guys are already thinking about entering a university. This includes summarizing the results of schooling. When holding a meeting, it is necessary to familiarize parents with the regulations governing the rules for assessing children's knowledge, methods of appealing the results, with the procedure for obtaining a certificate of graduation from a general education institution.
Engaging narrow specialists
In general, the subject of parent meetings at school should present to parents the content, forms and principles of working with children in an educational institution, familiarize them with advanced methods of educational and educational processes, consider the features of training programs, involve them in interaction in extracurricular activities, inform about availability of electives, circles.
A separate set of problems that can be solved during parent-teacher meetings involves the involvement of narrow specialists. This will allow teachers and parents to find mutual understanding with children and improve the psychological climate in the team.
Another aspect that is considered during parent-teacher meetings is the question of the logistical side of the learning process. Of course, without the help of parents, many financial issues at school are difficult to resolve.
It is important to remember that the main indicator of the effectiveness of parent-teacher meetings is the creation and existence of a triumvirate teacher - child -parents. This is the only way everyone will be able to realize their expectations from the educational process.
