Talking with Students about Grades
When you talk to students about their grades, here are some suggestions of questions to ask:
· Ask student how they feel about their grades, how they think his/her grades represent what's going well or is challenging them in school.
· Help students to see patterns in their performance - in conjunction with: tests/quizzes; homework; conduct & attendance; classwork/class participation.
· Ask students about their relationships with their teachers and how that may be influencing their grades.
· When discussing goals, have students identify what 'excellence' for them would look like in school - what does their 'personal best' look like? Be sure students are setting achievable but challenging goals for themselves.
