Back to school night typically occurs twice in any given school year. The first is usually during the first three months of school. The point of back to school night is to brag about the amenities of the school as well as the qualifications of the teachers. The children are able to show what they have done so far and parents are able to ask any questions about their child's development that weren't addressed before. With all of the activities that go on during this school function, it's easy to lose track of what you really want or should know about your child's school and education. Here are ten questions you should ask to get you started. You will find it easy to add to it as you consider your specific situation.
1. What are the teacher's credentials?
2. What is her teaching style?
3. What is the teacher's lesson plan for the quarter, semester, year?
4. What assignments and subjects are the most challenging / easy for your child and why?
5. What methods of discipline does the teacher use?
6. What is the best way to support her learning plan?
7. Which children does your child get along with best / worst?
8. How would the teacher describe your child's personality and behavior?
9. What ranking does your school have in the No Child Left Behind testing?
10. What is being done to effect that ranking?
