Question 1
During a face-to-face conference about a student, which of the following strategies best ensures open communication
between the teacher and parents?
A. Beginning with a discussion of the student's behavioral weaknesses
B. Minimizing opportunities for parental suggestions on classroom management
C. Limiting the use of education-specific terminology
D. Maintaining a demeanor that emphasizes authority
Correct Answer
Option (C) is correct because a teacher who uses education-specific terms can make it difficult for parents to completely
understand the situation or possible solutions. By replacing education terminology with easier-to-understand language,
the teacher can help establish an effective discussion. Option (A) is incorrect because beginning the conference by
discussing student weaknesses would set a negative tone that could prevent the teacher from developing a good rapport
with the parents. Option (B) is incorrect because minimizing opportunities for parental suggestions may prevent parents
from being active participants in the student's education and make them less inclined to work in collaboration with the
teacher. Option (D) is incorrect because a teacher who maintains a demeanor of authority may not convey that parents
are respected partners in the student's education.

,Question 2
Which of the following teacher strategies best promotes ongoing communication to enhance parental involvement in
student learning?
A. Creating an accessible class blog to provide parents with a forum for open discussion
B. Using graphing software to display class progress to parents at the end of each grading period
C. Producing a monthly slide show for parents of student work samples and class projects
D. Establishing an educational social networking site for parents
Correct Answer
Option (A) is correct because a blog will allow communication between the teacher and the parents regarding
information related to student learning. Option (B) is incorrect because displaying the class's progress at the end of each
grading period will not provide parents with timely information to help those students who are struggling with a concept
or a certain subject. Option (C) is incorrect because producing a monthly slide show of student work samples showcases
the students' best work but does not provide information about each student's strengths and challenges. Option (D) is
incorrect because an educational social networking site will offer a means for parents to share ideas with each other but
will not effectively communicate academic information about the students directly to the parents.

, Question 3
If a teacher suspects a student is being abused or neglected, it is the teacher's primary responsibility to
A. interview the student thoroughly to determine the exact details of the injuries or neglect.
B. contact a parent or family member to inquire about the student's injuries or neglect.
C. report the suspected abuse or neglect to law enforcement or family protective services within 48 hours.
D. ask a school administrator to report the abuse or neglect to law enforcement or family protective services within 24
hours.
Correct Answer
Option (C) is correct because state law requires anyone who is licensed by the state that works with children to report
suspected abuse or neglect no later than 48 hours after the certified professional first suspects the abuse or neglect.
Option (A) is incorrect because questioning the child is the responsibility of the authorities after receiving a report, not
the teacher's responsibility. Option (B) is incorrect because contacting the parents may actually put the student in more
danger, since it is unknown who may be causing the abuse or neglect. Option (D) is incorrect because the law states that
the certified professional who suspects abuse or neglect may not delegate or rely on another person to make the report.
