I never get to say as much as I would like to at parent teacher conferences. Sometimes I feel like I talk so fast I must overwhelm parents. Other times I wish I had explained things better.
One solution to this problem is a brochure. I created a brochure about my classroom to explain my goals, what is important to me, and the type of services that the resource room offers. I used the brochure to explain some of the terms and paperwork used in the resource department.
I also made my own business card so that when I tell parents to contact me or make an appointment, I have a quick visual and concrete way of inviting them to actually email or give me a call.
