If the teacher is prepared beforehand, the conference is more likely to be a success, according to Teacher Vision. If the teacher can address two or three concerns with the parent, stay on topic and summarize at the end, positive results can occur.On the Other: They are not Necessary if They Get Off TopicIf the conference is not well-planned and gets off topic by the parent or the teacher, it will not accomplish the goal of improving the student’s schoolwork or behavior, according to Fox News.
