How do I follow up with the teacher afterwards?

Send one short email within a day, listing what you understood to be agreed, who does what, and when you will speak again, then ask the teacher to correct anything you got wrong. If there is no reply after about five school days, forward the same email to the school office rather than writing a new one.

Keep the email in a folder you can find again, and reread it the week before the next parents' evening. When the end-of-term report arrives, compare it with the three points you agreed; that comparison is the cheapest way to see whether anything actually moved, and it gives you a factual opening line at the next meeting.
