Prior to the beginning of the conference, the teacher and the student discuss the conference and what topics will be discussed. The tone is set by having chairs for both the child and the parent. The teacher should have manipulatives for the child to play with or color on. Any issues or concerns the parent has should be addressed. At the end of the meeting, the teacher should review what the next best steps for them are.
