10-minute conversation.
At school, you have a 10-minute conversation two or three times a year to talk about your child's progress. How do you prepare well for a 10-minute conversation? Which questions can you ask during a 10-minute conversation?
What is a 10-minute conversation?
This talk lets you speak with your child’s teacher, mentor, or subject teacher. It is not only about your child’s grades but also about how your child feels in class. A 10-minute conversation usually happens several times a year. The first one follows after the start talk at the beginning of the year.
More than grades
Usually, the teacher, mentor, or subject teacher talks about the results your child has achieved in the last period. You also discuss your child’s behaviour and any differences you notice between school and home.
You also talk about your child’s work attitude, contact between your child, classmates, and/or the teacher, and possible support at school.
Maintaining a good relationship
It is important for parents to attend a 10-minute conversation. This keeps good contact with your child’s school and teacher. A good relationship with your child’s teacher helps your partnership tailored education. You can also find each other quickly if problems arise.
Preparing for the 10-minute conversation
The 10-minute conversation goes fast. That is why it is important to think of some questions beforehand. Think about social contacts in class, school results, or comments on your child’s report. You can also write down what the teacher says during the talk.
Some schools invite your child too for the 10-minute conversation. Decide with your child if you attend together or if you, as a parent, go by yourself. Either way, it is important to talk before and after the conversation about how your child is doing.
Not enough 10 minutes?
Sometimes, 10 minutes is too short to discuss everything. Then you can make a follow-up appointment with the mentor or teacher. You can mention this at the end of the conversation or later send a request to the teacher.
