For Parents: Parent-Teacher Conference Questions and Tips
If you’re a parent, deciding what to say at parent-teacher conferences can feel intimidating. A little preparation beforehand, however, can help you feel confident and ready to discuss your child’s progress. Put together a list of questions you’d like to ask your child’s teacher beforehand so you have a few discussion points ready before you walk in.
Here are some examples of questions to ask at parent-teacher conferences:
- What do you see as my child’s strengths and weaknesses?
- How has my child progressed over the year?
- What is my child like in class?
- What can I do to help my child learn at home?
While the teacher discusses your child’s progress, try to listen and keep an open mind. Constructive criticism can sometimes be hard to hear, especially when you understand your child’s unique background and challenges better than anyone. However, remember that the teacher likely has your child’s best interest in mind and work together to support your child’s learning. If it would be helpful, take a few notes during the meeting that you can reference later.
Recognize that parent-teacher conferences take a lot of planning, often outside of an educator’s regular hours. After the conference, send a thank-you note to your child’s teacher to let them know you appreciate their time. If you’d like to get more involved in school events, let them know how you’d like to help.
