Parents! Tips for Parent-Teacher Meeting

Parents are child's first teachers. When parents and teachers talk to each other, each person can share important information about your child’s talents and needs. Parent-teacher meeting is very short - 5 to 20 minutes once or twice a year. So it is ideal for the parents to note down in advance what all to be asked? Some important tips below:-

  • First of all, parents should ask their child what the teacher will say about him / her.

  • Before attending the meeting, parents should child's work, grades and progress reports and make a list of questions to be asked during the meeting.

  • Parents can find out how the child is doing by asking questions like, Is he / she is performing at grade level? How she / can improve? etc.

  • Parents can share their thoughts and feelings about the child and also request the teacher with what he / she needs help.

  • Parents can also get suggestions from the teacher, how they can help their child at home?

  • Parents can also ask why the child is doing socially? Is she/he able to get along with other students?

  • Does the child speak up in the class or ask questions during class? Do they ask for help if they are confused or unsure?

  • What skills and knowledge will the child be expected to master this year?

  • Above all, Parents should approach the teacher with positive attitude.
