This Friday, Earl Beatty teachers are holding parent-teacher interviews. In lieu of the report cards that teachers would typically provide, we have created this interview primer and template (below) to help guide parents when discussing your child’s development.
Typically, elementary report cards focus on six essential learning skills and work habits students need to succeed:
- Responsibility
- Organization
- Independent Work
- Collaboration
- Initiative
- Self-regulation
Each skill is reported as Excellent (E), Good (G), Satisfactory(S) or Needs Improvement (N). Keep these skills and habits in mind when thinking about what to discuss with your child’s teacher.
You can also view the TDSB’s Parent-Teacher interview fact sheet for more information, including sample questions to ask your child’s teacher.
