Professional Learning Community (Family Studies) Reflection
After three meetings with my PLC group, I have learned
about my personality and how to interact with parents, specifically during parent teacher conferences. The lesson the PLC leader presented were great and she really focused on gearing the learning towards us individually and how we would and should interact in a parent teacher conference. I felt like I gained lots of information about myself, parenting styles, and knowledge to carry on a successful and conflict free conversations with parents. Our first lesson focused on our personality types and us as individuals. It was neat to see how our personality types would be reflected differently in the classroom. I was a ITSJ personality type, which simply means I am defined as a logistician. My personality type is know for being logic and dedicated to my duty. I uphold traditions, rules, and standards. I would say that is very accurate to my personality because I have very old school, traditional set-instone systems I follow. I believe my classroom would be tradition in behavior and classroom management techniques
and I would have set rules for instruction and classroom
behaviors. Our third lesson revolved around the parents and the different parenting styles. It was interesting to see how the parents personality types differed and would be reflected through the child. The different parenting styles are authoritative, authoritarian, uninvolved, and permissive. As a teacher, you will engage in conversations with each one of these types of parenting styles. It is our job to be knowledge and respectful. It was neat to see how the parents would react in a conversation about their child and how as a teacher we should approach each type of parent based on their parenting style. Our final lesson focused on how to engage in successful parent conferences with different parenting styles and your personality combined. I learned that sometimes personalities can clash, so our PLC leader gave us tips and points to refer to during a parent-teacher conference, so it is successful and helps the students, which is the overall goal of the meeting. I
felt like the information (packet) our leader provided us was
great and it is something I can reference in the future. I feel like I learned and gained a lot of knowledge about carrying a successful parent conference in the near future. The parent-teacher conferences are all about helping the child and that is something we need to keep in mind. I will definitely take the information I have gained through the PLC lessons and incorporate them in future conferences. I think the Family Studies leader did a great job and enhanced my knowledge of conferences and myself.
