Let’s go over my favorite questions to ask at school conferences.

Parent/teacher conferences is a perfect opportunity to continue to collaborate with your child’s teachers.

I have been involved in countless conferences over the year's, from my own son to my clients

So I know for a fact, the default conversation typically focuses on report cards / academic progress. Although this is important, we should focus on the whole child, not just one aspect.

These are 3 questions I have discovered provides a lot of meaningful insight that helps the team to continue the individualization of any student’s education plan.

1️⃣ How is my child doing socially & emotionally at school?

2️⃣ What subject or skill areas are emerging as my child’s strength this school year?

3️⃣ How can I help at home to support what my child is learning in your classroom?

🔥 BONUS 🔥

Don’t forget to ask for progress updates on your child’s IEP annual IEP goals.

Plus, if your child is a teenager review the progress towards their postsecondary goals.
