Ask prepared questions on a workplace tour
When to use this goal
For students who prepare questions but stay silent during tours or visits. Present levels in communication and comfort with unfamiliar adults decide whether questions are spoken, read from a card or played on a device.
- Baseline
- Treat each question on the card as one opportunity, up to 5, on the first tour. Record whether the student asked it, whether the answer was recorded, and whether a staff signal was needed.
- Tips
- Ask the host ahead of time to leave time for student questions. Virtual visits are a good place to start for students who are anxious in person. Answers feed the visit report in tn-ce-009.
- Limits
- Tours vary in how much time hosts allow. Asking from a card is a step toward the open conversation of an informational interview (tn-ce-008).
