T-E-A-M Addendum

A follow-up to my last post (compliments of Mom Baker who requested a clear-cut list of questions for parents to ask teachers).

First, please don't be scared to ask questions.  You are not bothering us unless you are emailing every hour asking how your little one is doing.  We are a team and we want to work with you but please understand that we can be on anywhere from 20 to 30 "teams" or more. 

So what questions should you ask?

1.  What are your certifications?  Where did you go to school?  What year did you graduate?

2.  What kinds of professional development are you experiencing to keep up with current educational trends?

3.  How can I help and support what you do in the classroom?

If a question pops into your mind, ask it.  Go with your gut.  You are your child's advocate!
