Key Highlights of the Webinar

Beyond Marks: The session emphasized that PTMs should address students’ emotional well-being, peer pressure, and identity struggles, not just academic scores.
The PEACE Approach: Shilpi Bagla introduced a practical framework—Poise, Empathy, Active Communication, Change, End Goal (Student Success)—to guide effective parent–teacher interactions.
Feedback Strategies: Teachers learned how to give clear, empathetic, and constructive feedback instead of vague remarks, fostering better parent trust.
Parents as Partners: The workshop highlighted the importance of viewing parents not just as stakeholders but as active partners in a child’s learning journey.
Interactive Engagement: Nearly 200 educators actively participated, sharing personal experiences, reflections, and actionable strategies for better PTMs.

The webinar underscored how Parent–Teacher Meetings, often seen as routine formalities, can instead be powerful platforms for collaboration. Ms. Bagla explained that PTMs should go beyond grades to address the real issues children face today - exam anxiety, peer pressure, and the quest for identity. By shifting the lens from reporting marks to building trust, PTMs can become catalysts for student growth.

One of the session’s most impactful takeaways was the PEACE Approach, a structured method emphasizing Poise, Empathy, Active Communication, Change, and End Goal. Educators appreciated how this simple yet powerful framework could guide conversations with parents, turning potential conflicts into constructive dialogues.

The interactive nature of the webinar kept participants engaged throughout. Teachers not only absorbed insights but also shared their own classroom experiences, offering a collective wisdom that enriched the discussion. The Q&A session further deepened the understanding of practical challenges in managing parent expectations.

Educators learned a renewed perspective: PTMs are not just checkboxes in the academic calendar, they are bridges of trust between schools and families, aligned towards one ultimate goal: the child’s success and well-being.

Educart extends heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Shilpi Bagla for her expertise and to the 198 educators who actively contributed to the session. This webinar stands as a reminder that when schools and parents stand together, children don’t just learn, they thrive.
