Open House isn’t just about sharing rules—it’s your chance to build trust with parents, spark curiosity, and show them how their students can thrive in your class.
In this episode, Claudia walks you through her 7–8 minute Open House plan, including what she skips, what she highlights, and how a simple Spanish “mini-lab” makes parents leave confident and excited about language learning.
✨ Takeaways:
- Why you should skip the long rule list and focus on what makes your class unique.
- How a short demo in the target language builds trust and shows parents their kids can succeed.
- Why attention is the #1 key to success in a proficiency-based class.
- How Open House can set the tone for fewer parent conferences and stronger partnerships all year.
