To create a PowerPoint presentation for parents to help prepare them for parentteacher conferences and to evaluate your PowerPoint presentation.
Scenario:
In your student teaching experience, you learned a number of important lessons about holding parentteacher conferences, including what can go wrong.

Third, to reassure parents that you will be as professional and supportive as possible, include a section in your presentation that describes what your conferences will not be (e.g., you being the expert).

Last, create three slides that describe the pitfalls you sincerely wish to avoid during parent conferences. Include a final slide that invites parents to offer feedback.
2. Be sure to read the SELF-EVALUATION section below to guide your thinking. Write your self-evaluation after you have completed your PowerPoint presentation.
