Students rarely get a chance to host a parent/teacher conference. Having your students fill out this form prior to the PTC will give them a voice during the meeting. It also is a great jumping off point for teachers to discuss the strengths and areas of needed improvement with parents. Forms can be kept and compared from PTC to PTC as an additional tool to measure growth.

Use this chart as an ice breaker. Each student must go around the room and make an appointment to meet a classmate at each location on the world map. This is a fun new twist the the traditional appointment clock. It is also nice for partner work so that students already know who they are working with. As they enter the room, I shout out that we are meeting in Australia. There is no one left out and they find their partners quickly.
