As a middle school teacher, sometimes what gets you through are the people you work with. Teaching in general, you need your people. I spent the evening with this crew plus a few for three hours of group conferences. It was our first time trying it out in a group style, and we all loved it. On that note, I'm exhausted, still at school, and heading home.
I loved the connection of parent/teacher conferences. Connecting with colleagues, connecting with families, connecting kids and families and seeing those interactions. I also remember the exhaustion of the 12 hour days on conference days. Thank you for sharing your experience. It made me reflect.
