Angela Maiers poses some wonderful Parent-Teacher Conference questions at her blog. Her personal experience in gaining answers met mixed results, but she explains how these questions do not fit into the aspect of data that has high priority in schools. However, the questions are what I want to know the answers to as a parent.
The questions:
- Who is my child to you?
- Who are they as readers, writers, community members?
- What makes them unique?
- What are they passionate about?
- How do they add value to your class and the wider community?
- What makes you proud?
