Parent Interviews

I think that parent and teacher relationships are a very important component in education. As I have stated before, I believe in holistic learning. As such, the students whole-living experience must be incorporated.
Here is an interview a sample interview that I created for a parent with exceptional needs.  As with all sections, I hope to add more as I progress!


 
Module 2- Cumulative Activity:
Create a Parent/Teacher Questionnaire
 for Exceptional Student Assessment
I choose to make my parent questionnaire generic. I wanted to create a template that could be adapted for future teaching experiences.
I have divided the questionnaire into categories to help me organize my questioning goals:
My interview goals are as follows:
  • Develop an understanding of background information.
  • Assess the general living conditions at home.
  • Understand the parents own background and how this relates to the student.
  • Understand parents own perception of exceptionalities and goals they have for their child, and identify the parent’s educational expectations for their child.
  • Understand bridges that need to be created to facilitate student learning.
PART 1: Background information:
Was there early child complications for ________________NAME OF STUDENT (birth or early trauma?)
 
Has ________________ ever been tested for any unique qualities?
 
Is there any exceptional differences you noticed with ________ during his/her younger years?
 
PART 2: General living conditions:
What is the student’s current living situation: who lives in the household, how many children do you have?
 
Do you expect the current living conditions will change in any way in the near future?
 
PART 3: Parental background and how this relates to the student:
What are your interests and hobbies?
 
What was your experience like in this grade?
 
What subjects did you enjoy while you were learning?
 
What subjects did you hate?
 
PART 4: Parental perception of exceptionalities and goals they have for their child:
What do you see as ___________________greatest strengths or skills?
 
What does _________ do well at home? What are the interests of him/her?
 
 
Does ___________________ have responsibilities at home?
 
 
How does ____________________ prefer to spend his/her spare time?
 
 
Does _____________ have a peer group outside of school?
 
 
 
Are there any issues at home that you notice?
 
 
What seems to work and what doesn’t work with _____________ at home?
 
 
Do you have any concerns regarding ______________________ learning/ social abilities? 
 
 
How do you feel _______________________ is doing in school?
 
 
What do you hope ___________________ accomplishes during this school year or year in general? (this can be academic goal, developmental goals or sports goal)
 
 
What are your long term goals for ___________________?
 
 
Do you think the school can assist further in these goals?
 
Part 5: Gaps between home and school:
How important do you think the parent/teacher relationship is?
 
 
If you could rate your current feelings towards your relations with the school, what would it be 1-5 (1 being very bad and 5 being excellent)
 
 
How could relations improve?
 
 
How do you prefer to be contacted?
 
What do you hope I would communicate with you concerning ______________?
 
Is there a question you hoped I would have asked you about ___________________?
