Different Parent Teacher Scheduling Approaches

 

There are several available methods used by schools today, to organise their parent teacher interview nights. Each has strengths and weaknesses. Understanding the various systems enables you to compare your current system to others. EdvalPTN has compiled this useful research data, which is not available from other sources.
