Questions to ask during the conference:
� What subject does my student like most? Least?
� What can I do to help my student with subjects he finds difficult?
How can I help my student study? Prepare for class? Improve his
work? A good time to ask these questions is when the teacher gives
you samples of your son's or daughter's work.
� Is my student trying as hard as he can?
� Does my student participate in class discussions and activities?
� Is my student in different classes or groups for different subjects?
Which ones? How are the groups determined?
� How well does my student get along with others?
� Has my student missed classes?
� Have you noticed changes in the way my student acts? For example,
have you noticed squinting, tiredness, or moodiness that might be a
sign of physical or other problems?
� How are you measuring my student's progress? Through tests?
Portfolios? Class participation? Projects?
� What kinds of tests do you give? What do the tests show about my
student's progress? How does my student handle taking tests?
