Ep #349: How to Handle Parent Emotions Around Classroom Placements

A conversation with a parent about a classroom assignment change doesn’t have to be contentious, anxiety-ridden, or reflect negatively on you as a principal. It’s not about your expertise, professionalism, or ability to make decisions. It’s about a parent who wants the best for their child, and in this episode, you’ll learn how to respond to these requests with intention rather than reaction.   Learn how to handle even the most challenging class assignment requests with confidence and grace. Hear practical strategies for getting to the root of a parent’s concerns, the importance of validating their emotions without giving in to demands, and my top tips for finding creative solutions that work for everyone.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/349
