Dealing with Parents Effectively

Target Audience:  All Levels

Presenter: Mary K. Vázquez, M.Ed. in Administration and Supervision, English Teacher and Bilingual Program Coordinator at Thomas Alva Edison School, Caguas

As a teacher and the Bilingual Program Coordinator I have learned that parents are our most valuable asset.  This workshop will help teachers work effectively with parents, even the most difficult ones, and prevent problems before they happen.  The author of How to Handle Hard-to Handle Parents, Maryln Appelbaum, offers targeted strategies and solutions to establish positive and harmonious relationships with parents to enhance the home-school connection.
