Parent-Teacher Conferences: The Best Questions to Ask
It’s silly, really, but we all get a little nervous before a parent-teacher conference. You know you should prepare for it, but what exactly do you want to know and what should you ask? Here are 10 important questions to gain a better understanding about how your child performs at school – both academically and socially.
- Is my child performing at grade level in each subject?
- What are my child’s strengths and weaknesses in reading, math, science, and social studies?
- How are grades determined in your classroom? What kind of information do you use to evaluate students?
- How has my child scored on academic achievement tests?
- How do you accommodate different learning styles? If my child falls behind, are there summer school, tutoring, or other programs available? If my child is a fast learner and is bored in the classroom, how can I support your efforts in implementing higher academic standards for her?
- Have you observed any changes in learning progress so far? Has learning improved or declined since the year began?
- How does my child interact with other children?
- How do you handle bullying and/or mean-girl behavior?
- What is your approach to student discipline and safety?
- How can I support your efforts; can I volunteer in or out of the classroom?
