Consultation With the Teacher
This is the correct term. Like you consult a banker to determine the best use of your money or a doctor to determine the best way to live a healthier life, it is time to consult the professional on the learning health of your children. Most parents are interested in seeing their children succeed. Your children's teachers share what they have learned in the short time they have had your children in their class. You have had your children in your "class" so much longer. Think of your being the expert and the teacher being your consultant. Too many times we determine the teacher as knowing more about our children than we know. It is the time to share what you know about your children in order for the teacher to know how to proceed with your children's learning at his/her level. Attending parent/teacher conferences is important regardless of how you think your children are doing in school You and your children's teacher will share what you know about your children. You may say something that will alert the teacher to future problems and help him/her to be more observant of your child.
If you do not already know the high standards the teacher and your school expect of children, now is the time to ask. How much of their school day do children spend on screen time, music, PE, play, outside activity--with books or worksheets. You need to know your children's progress in order to help your children achieve at their highest potential. You want your children to do no less than their best. Is the teacher helping your children to do that?
If you have talked to your children and have questions for the teacher, be sure to bring them to your conference. If they have been written, it will be easier to remember to ask the teacher. Such questions as How is my child doing socially and emotionally in class? Is my child understanding the way you teach? What can I do to help? Such websites as https://www.care.com/c/stories/3264/20-questions-to-ask-during-a-parent-teacher-c/ and https://www.verywellfamily.com have suggestions if you cannot think of questions.
Students with informed and engaged parents are better about completing homework, make higher grades, are more likely to graduate and have better attitudes about school and themselves. (eSchool News)
Find out how you can be involved in your children's learning Family involvement is one of the best investments a family can make. All families can enjoy benefits from being at their children's school, and it has nothing to do with your level of income or your own education. Share your love of art, music, cooking. Share your hobby. Share your education path and how hard you needed to work to get where you are in life. Share your culture for better understanding. Share how you handle screen time.
A prepared parent with a positive attitude and an open mind is on the right track for creating a successful, year-long partnership with his child's teacher. www.care.com
