💡 Things No One Tells You About Parent-Teacher

💡 Things No One Tells You About Parent-Teacher Conferences with an Interpreter... 💡

Using an interpreter can feel a bit tricky, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are 3 tips to help conferences go smoothly for the parents, the interpreter, and YOU:

1️⃣ Speak Directly to Parents, Not the Interpreter
Build trust by looking at the parents and speaking to them directly. The interpreter is your bridge, but the connection should still be with the family. 👩‍🏫👨‍👩‍👧

2️⃣ Allow Time for Translation
Slow down and pause to let the interpreter catch up. This makes sure nothing important is lost in translation. ⏸️🔁

3️⃣ Keep Your Language Simple
Avoid complicated jargon or phrases that don’t translate well. Clear, concise language helps avoid confusion and ensures everyone’s on the same page. 📖❌🧐

Using these tips, you’ll create a supportive, welcoming environment where parents feel heard and understood. 🤝💬
