The topic this week was entitled, Making the Most of Parent-Teacher Conferences and was hosted by Mrs. Verdugo (6th grade) and Mrs. Fudge (1st grade). Several points were made:
1. conferences last about 20 minutes because teachers have many parents to meet with
2. arrive on time
3. prepare ahead of time questions to ask the teacher:
Strengths?
Concerns?
Social behavior?
Friends?
Homework?
Classwork?
How to keep him motivated?
How to encourage him?
4. talk to your child about his/her opinions:
the class,
favorite subject,
friends,
recess,
classroom behavior and
his progress.
5. Make sure your child knows that you and his teacher are on the same team and want him to succeed.
6. For Kindergarten through second grade:
O outstanding
S+ Satisfactory/Meets Target
S- Below Target
N Needs Improvement
For grades third through sixth:
A
B
C
D
F
7. Praise your child publicly for any good grades received.
8. Does he agree with the grade report?
Questions I thought of…
To to student?
Who are your friends? What’s your favorite subject? What do you like about your class? What do you enjoy about your teacher?
To the teacher?
When does he have time with you? What does he learn during intervention groups? How is he doing socially? What do you appreciate about him? Does he have any friends? What type of student is he? What type of relationship do you have with him? How can we support his learning at home?
