parent-teacher conferences  

Definition

  • A parent-teacher conference is an interactive meeting between a parent and a teacher where the primary focus is on the child's academic, behavioral, emotional, psychological, or social functioning. Parents and teachers need to collaborate and keep the interest of the child as their main focus (Comer, 2003; Comer & colleagues, 1996; Dettmer & colleagues, 2002; Epstein, 1995).
