Get Michael’s past PD’s on DVD
You can catch Michael’s previous seminars on DVD. Now you can undertake your own professional development without leaving the school-gate. They are ideal for individual or small group learning.
Today’s parents are more demanding than ever, and we as educators need to bring our very best to every interaction we have with parents.
Michael Grose will show you specific and subtle strategies that will maximise your effectiveness with parents in every situation you find yourself in. He will look at relationship-building techniques, strategies to reduce parent anxiety and how to deliver bad news to parents who are defensive or in denial about their children. These are three areas that separate good from great teachers when it comes to working with parents.
