Have you ever been involved in a parent/teacher meeting? Were you the parent? Teacher? Student? Regardless of your role, participating and partnering with a school team requires trust, respect, and collaboration. This video shows a school meeting in which teachers and parents are engaging in an IEP transition meeting to ensure that Mark, a child with developmental delays, will have a smooth transition into kindergarten. Watch how the team creates a strong collaboration between teachers and parents, with a commitment to what is best for Mark. How a teacher conveys and delivers information to the family can set the tone of the meeting. What did Ann, the teacher, do to start the meeting off on a positive note? 2. How a teacher conveys and delivers information to the receiving teacher, like the kindergarten teacher in this video, is also important. The narrator explains that, “If teachers have positive expectations, then they are more likely to behave positively with the child. However, if they have heard a child described negatively, they may focus on the child’s problems even though they know as professionals they should not have preconceived negative opinions.” How does this statement make you feel about how teachers convey and receive information with each other?
