Get ready Math Moment Makers for a great “call” with Crystal Frommert, who will be sharing some great tips and strategies that we can put to use to promote productive conversations with parents - especially when the news isn’t necessarily positive. 

We’ve all been there before: a student is experiencing struggles in our math class and the time has come where we must make that informative call to ensure parents are in the know. Let’s reframe how we look at conversations with parents by leveraging some of the ideas that Crystal shares in her book, When Calling Parents Isn’t Your Calling. 


You’ll Learn: 

• Why the first conversation you have with parents is an opportunity to ensure they know you have their child’s best interests in mind;
• What language swaps should educators being using to create a welcoming vibe; 
• How to communicate a student’s mathematical progress to a parent/caregiver with clarity, empathy, and hope.
