HOW TO TAKE THE DRAMA OUT OF PARENT-TEACHER INTERVIEWS?
We know that Teachers matter in the education of students and that their effect size on student achievement should be .4 every school year (Hattie, 2012). What is new though is that parents can also affect their child’s achievement. This effect has been measured as high as .74 (Jeynes, 2005).
