Austin Peay future teachers practice tough parent talks

Austin Peay State University is preparing future teachers for difficult parent conversations by putting them through simulated parent-teacher conferences before they enter local classrooms. Fifty-six students from the Eriksson College of Education recently took part in the exercise at Austin Peay's Nursing Simulation Center, according to a community announcement. The students are among dozens expected to begin student teaching in local classrooms next semester. Faculty from the College of Education and School of Nursing developed the exercise, which paired education students with nursing majors acting as concerned parents.

"I think this was a great reminder of what the career we're going into really is," said Caroline Jansen, a senior elementary education major.
