Parent teacher conference is an essential tool
for progress in education. In a parent teacher conference the teacher and the parent can have a face to face discussion regarding the education standard of the child.
The motive of parent teacher conference is an interaction between teachers and the parents of their students. In a parent teacher conference the parent acts as a representative of the child, and gathers information from the concerned teacher regarding the improvement of the child. It is better if a parent teacher conference can be held every time after the exam is over. Within the limited time of conference it is better for the parent to ask certain questions.
Some of the questions, which are generally raised in a conference between parent and teacher, are:
- How is the child going to be evaluated?
- What are the drawbacks of the child?
- What is the role of the guardian for the improvement of the child?
- What can be done at home to complement with the the classroom education?
- How can the parent be be alerted about what homework has been assigned?
- What would be the possible way to fix the problem if the child is a slow learner and falls behind, or is a fast learner and is bored?
- Can the concerned teacher provide individual guidance if the student is really weak in certain areas?
- What are the particular subjects that suit for the concerned child?
