Think constructively on the following points: How often do you organise PTMs? What kind of discussions do you generally have with parents? Have you tried to explore how best they can help you and the school to work more effectively? Have you also tried to think about the general concerns of the parents and what could be the solutions from your side and/or from the school? Ponder over these questions with a creative and problem-solving mind and share your reflections.

ReplyDeleteTeacher and parents both are very assencial part of learning they both help the children so PTM must be regular.
ReplyDeleteI organise PTM once a quarterly of an academic year.We dwell on the academic, socio- homely atmosphere concerning the students studies and their general conduct.We also discuss the learning process of the students and highlight their areas of academic vulnerability and strength.The parents are apprised of the academic and co- curricular activities of the students and we also take the opinions of the parents to guide us because teaching is a two way process.We take feedback from the parents to improve on our shortcomings also.Parebts are given full liberty to ask the questions concerning their their child and we also highlight the areas of concern.

PTM must be regular as teachers and parents both are essential part of learning, bothe of them helps children in their learning. Normally we discussed the learning progress of the child and his behavior in the classroom or school and what hebis lacking of and what he or she is good at during the PTM.

ReplyDeletePtms are organised month wise in our school wherein a teacher parent interaction happens face to face preciously.I think Its an effective tool to give feedback of the students to the parents regarding academics and their behaviour.Iis a wonderful tool to use by the teachers and school to have effective communication with parents.

ReplyDeletePTM is to conduct immediately after valuation of certain exam like formative assessment and summative assessment.In the meeting we usually give progress reports and discuss their achievements.We also enquire the child's behaviour, health and conditions of home.
ReplyDeleteTeacher parents and communities need to co ordinate with each other
ReplyDeletet’s no secret that when schools make a concerted effort to foster healthy, strong relationships with families, students benefit in a number of ways.
ReplyDeleteConducting ptms are good. But if the parent respond accordingly and properly communicate with school, it helpsore to know about their children and their development
ReplyDeleteI have frequently conduct the PTMs and discuss the problems and draw solutions to the problems.

ReplyDeleteConducting PTM regularly helps track a child's overall growth.also we come to know the participation of the parent and their involvement in child's growth and can guide them properly
ReplyDeleteConducting PTM meetings regularly helps to the students in their studies
ReplyDeleteI find that holding PTM at least once a semester or trimester allows for meaningful discussions.
ReplyDeleteDuring PTMs, discussions with parents often revolve around academic progress, behavior, and any concerns or challenges their child may be facing. However, I've also started to explore how parents can contribute more effectively to the school community beyond these traditional topics.
One creative approach I've considered is implementing themed PTMs focusing on specific areas where parental involvement can make a significant difference. For example, dedicating a PTM to discussing strategies for fostering a love of reading at home, or another session focused on promoting mental health and well-being.
Additionally, I've reflected on the general concerns of parents and brainstormed potential solutions from both my perspective as a teacher and from the school's standpoint:
Communication: Many parents express concerns about staying informed about their child's progress. Solution: Implement a digital communication platform where teachers can regularly update parents on assignments, grades, and upcoming events.
Homework Overload: Parents often worry about their child feeling overwhelmed by homework. Solution: Collaborate with colleagues to ensure a balanced homework load across subjects and grade levels, and provide resources for parents to support their child with time management and study skills.
Bullying and Safety: Parents are understandably concerned about their child's safety and well-being at school. Solution: Implement comprehensive anti-bullying programs, encourage an inclusive and supportive school culture, and provide channels for reporting and addressing incidents of bullying.
Parental Involvement: Some parents may feel unsure about how they can contribute effectively to their child's education. Solution: Offer a variety of opportunities for involvement, such as volunteering in classrooms, participating in school events, or joining parent committees focused on specific initiatives.
By approaching PTMs and parental concerns with a creative and problem-solving mindset, I believe we can foster a stronger partnership between home and school, ultimately benefiting the academic and personal development of our students.
Involvement of both parents are teachers should be properly and clear done in a PTM and steps should be taken towards the growth of child without pressuring any kid or any parents.
ReplyDeletePTM is best for the development of the taught.This interaction is effective and you come to know more about the taught and their problems.
ReplyDeleteI should talk on academic, behavioural, language and interaction aspect of children
ReplyDeleteGenerally 7,8 ptm are there through out the year . Initially teacher should give information about what they will learn this year what will be the goal behind that what are the learning outcomes expected from children
ReplyDeleteTeacher should give small small activities to develop skills at home
How parents can explore their children.
What language should they use while taking activities
Story telling or reading books for them
We conduct PTM 3_4 times annually and communicate about the child's progress .Parent teacher conferences are an essential way to communicate with parents and build a partnership that sets students up for success. Conferences give teachers the opportunity to share updates on the child's progress while addressing any thoughts or questions from parents. Together you can coordinate plans to help the student reach their academic and personal goals.During ptm i share academic progress and growth based on classroom observations, testing data, assessments, portfolios, and assignments
ReplyDeletelearn from parents or guardians so you can be better informed about students' strengths, needs, behaviors, and learning styles
discuss enrichment or intervention strategies to support students' learning
discuss issues that may be interfering with students' learning and growth
We had a child in our school who were very poor. His father was paralysed, mother a beedi worker and the child was very slowly loosing his sight, he was in 10th class. We discussed about his problems in the PTA meeting, got him admitted to the hospital and got the operation done on his eyes and now he is completely healed. The PTA members helped us a lot.

ReplyDeletePTMs are very helpful for good communication about the necessary actions to take for better learning of students. And we need to have PTM at least once a month. And we should discuss with the parents about the poor learning of the students.
ReplyDeleteAs a Primary Teacher we should always start our communication with parents with a positive feedback about their ward. one should focus on how can we help a child to acheive better instead of just counting on problems. we should have a combine plan for this as aparent and teacher to take out best from the child. teacher should ask for extended help on same topics gpoing on in the class and vice versa.
ReplyDeletePTMs are held every month to analyse and discuss Ward's performance
