Pilot of New Parent Teacher Conference Process Overview

Context for Change Satisfaction Surveys 2016-2017 Administrators, Teachers & Parents agree → We can do better! California Standards for the Teaching Profession California Education Code Grissom Points to cover: Albeit for different reasons, Administrators, Teachers and Parents all pointed to big issues with the previous model. What we want is for parents and teachers to feel their time and effort in conferencing is time well spent. CSTP-- Standard six specifically calls out for teachers to engage meaningfully with families ED Code: requires by law that schools and teachers are responsive to parents requests for conferences

Goals Improve student achievement and experiences through teacher-family partnership Improve consistent “light touch” communication and outreach from teachers to home. Be available and accessible when the need for parent teacher conferences arises. Campbell

Context for Change The Underutilized Potential of Teacher-to-Parent Communication: Evidence from a Field Experiment Faculty Research Working Paper Series (Kraft & Rogers, Harvard Kennedy School of Government, October 2015) “There is a strong body of evidence that students perform better academically when parents are deeply involved in their education. Yet much of that research was conducted before computer-based technology was prevalent in homes and schools. The research also lacks data on how students' academic performance is affected by parents' tech-based interactions with teachers. A working paper released last year (October 2015) by researchers at Harvard University addresses some of those gaps. It found that frequent text-messaging [or other “light-touch” communications] between teachers and parents was linked to improved student academic outcomes when the content of those electronic exchanges was focused on educational goals.”

Implementation Process Conference Request Tool Live August 31, 2018 Administration sends official “invite” to parents October 2018 Teachers organize and schedule meetings as needed Ongoing** ** see Negotiated Agreement for limitations on teacher time/expectations

Conference Request Process Google Form will be posted on each school’s website In the interest of consistency and accountancy, teachers should NOT use their own individual sign up processes. Parent/Guardian fills out request when they want to meet with or discuss their student’s progress in depth. Google forms will generate a PDF with all the conference request information and you teachers will receive an email with the information. Teachers will respond to the request → Likely by email or phone Please plan to meet during the school day if able, but if your schedule does not permit, teachers will make themselves available after school. campbell

Google Classroom Features For Parent Communication

Parent/Guardian Notifications Not only can teachers assign work but they can also keep parents in the loop. Request to be added to the Google Classrooms of your child’s teachers. Any email address will do—a Gmail account is not required. Once added, parents/guardians will begin receiving email summaries outlining class activity, including missing work for their student, as well as upcoming work. Parents can choose to receive Daily or Weekly summaries. Once a parent/guardian email address is linked to a student, it is linked for the entire domain/district. ---Excerpt from Shawn Beard’s “8 Things You Didn’t Know Google Classroom Can Do”(2017)
