SUMMARY:Working with Parents
DESCRIPTION:A 2-Day Workshop on Developing and Sustaining Healthy Teacher-Parent Relationships \nBehind every child stands a parent… or two\, or three\, or four! As teachers we tend to focus on our students\, sometimes forgetting the fact that our relationships with parents are every bit as important. In this workshop we will explore the different facets of the teacher-parent relationship; discuss successful ways of sharing with parents the wonderful\, challenging task of guiding their child through childhood; and do some hands-on activities to strengthen our powers of observation and compassion.\nTopics we will cover include: \n• Navigating the (often tricky) parent/friend divide\n• Running effective and rewarding parent evenings\n• Creating an atmosphere of trust and collaboration\n• Writing tactful\, informative year-end reports\n• Establishing guidelines for healthy communication\n• Preventing and managing crises \nInstructor Melissa Merkling is currently an Educational Support Coordinator and Extra Lesson teacher at the Housatonic Valley Waldorf School in Newtown\, Connecticut\, which she founded in 1989.  Melissa grew up in New York City and attended the Rudolf Steiner School from kindergarten through 12th grade.  After studying art at Bennington College and spending four years in Italy\, she worked in television\, edited a non-profit publication\, and earned a Certificate in Waldorf Early Childhood Education from Sunbridge College.  At Housatonic Valley she has held virtually every position\, from Early Childhood and Grades teacher to Administrator\, Enrollment Director\, and College and Board member.  Melissa has attended and led anthroposophical classes and study groups for over twenty years.  She currently serves as a pedagogical mentor for students in Sunbridge’s Waldorf Elementary Teacher Education program.
