35. (How to Avoid) Parent Teacher Panic

35. (How to Avoid) Parent Teacher Panic

Parent–teacher interviews: love them or dread them, they’re one of the most nerve-wracking parts of the school year. In this episode, we get honest about how we typically prepare, and share some strategies for both primary and high school settings, including how to navigate the tricky conversations that inevitably come up from time to time.

You’ll also hear some practical wisdom from one of our favourite books for new graduate teachers, Bianca Hewes’ On Teaching — including her must-have interview survival tips — and we’ll share our own hacks for keeping calm, confident, and compassionate during long nights of back-to-back meetings.

Whether you’re a beginning teacher heading into your first round of interviews, or if you just want to feel a little less panicked and a little more prepared, this episode has something for you!
