[quote=Anonymous]After you schedule the conference, send an email with any big questions or concerns you would like to know about.  Some of these the teacher may already be planning to cover with all parents, some they may need to specifically prepare answers for relating to your child.   Others the topic may be too big/long for a normal PTV and they can either schedule a separate time to discuss with you.

During the normal conference, ask questions that teachers can answer quickly about your kid or that allows you to get to know the teachers style better:
- What peers is my kid interacting with most?
- What subject does kid seem to engage most vs least?
- What ways can I best support learning at home?
- What are upcoming topics/unit will student be covering?
- Is my child on level, ahead, behind and what does this mean? What does this look like in your class?
- What goals have you set for the class for the quarter and year? What goals is my kid specifically working towards?
- What does the class seem to be most enjoying this year?[/quote]
