Have you asked our kid's science teacher

[Anonymous]

any of the questions below? Are you satisfied with the district's science curriculum?

From NSTA 'Questions science teachers wish you would ask':

How is science taught in your classroom? What methods or activities do you use? Are there sample lessons I can review?

What science topics will my child learn and what skills will he/she master by the end of this year? How does this relate to what my child learned last year and what he or she will learn next year? How does it relate to what my child is learning in math, other subjects, or the world in which we live?

Do you have access to local informal science opportunities? Will there be field trips to local museums or science centers?

Will there be science homework and what will it look like?

What types of questions should I ask my child about science on a day-to-day basis?

What can I do to support my child's science learning? Are there science projects or activities we can do together at home, or apps, websites, or learning games we could explore?

How does the school support education in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects? Is STEM incorporated throughout the day and if so, how? Are there after school STEM clubs, programs, or science and engineering fairs that would support my child's learning?

How will learning be assessed? Will you use only formal assessments like tests or will children be able to show you what they know through other avenues?

What happens if my child doesn't achieve the learning goals of a lesson or unit of study? Can he or she get extra help?

What types of science equipment and technology will be used throughout the year?

This sounds like a private school interview.

At public schools, there are published policies and thousands of local children and parents who experienced the answers. And back-to-school night as open house day.

If a science teacher "wished you would ask", they can preemptively answer. And many do.

I wish we had science every day. Instead of a week of science and a week of social studies in ES. But I'm an engineer and science and engineering can be related to anything and everything. Including history and social sciences.

Asked at a parent teacher conference similar questions not these ones. Teachers are spending most of their time mitigating talkers, do they cover science topics?
