Insistent Parent
There is a parent whose high school kid is an ESE student integrated in a regular classroom. Despite his IEP's recommendations which are followed, the parent expects the teacher to give student more individualized attention. The teacher has made clear the IEP's recommendations are followed and trying his best to work with the kid. But the parent is being insistent. What should the teacher do? |

If the parent is being that insisted maybe it is best to have a meeting with the entire IEP team so that they can go over the plan together again. They can discuss any concerns and make sure everyone is in agreement and on the same page. |

The teacher should try and meet with the parent face to face. It would be helpful to include everyone involved in this students education ie. IEP team. I would try and show proof of improvement or attention and discuss what strategies might be more helpful. Parental involvement should be encouraged and it might be helpful. I would also discuss strategies that they've seen success with from other teachers. Maybe there are more simple ways to keep tabs on their child without completely uprooting your schedule. Definitely, address the parents concerns but lead them to understand where you are coming from. |

The teacher has to explain to the parent that in a mainstream classroom you can only give so much individualized attention, but that you make sure that the student is close to you so that you can keep an eye on their focus. I would have the desks clustered with the ESE child next to other children who are focused and can be a good example. Just assure the parent that there are ups and downs to mainstream education, but that you are doing your very best and that you truly do care. |

The teacher should request another IEP meeting to see the IEP team thinks it is in the child's best interest that more individualized attention be given. The teacher cannot go against the IEP plan. Therefore, they are currently doing nothing wrong. They may just need the additional school personal to back them up in a meeting with the parents. |

The teacher should get an administrator involved and maybe even set up an IEP meeting with the teacher, parents, and other members of the team. |

The teacher and parent should collaborate to have an IEP meeting. This will be a great opportunity to discuss the ESE services provided and the parent's concerns. |

I would always be positive when working with students and parents. Be as nice as possible and continue to ensure the parent that their child is receiving the services that are listed in the IEP. Offer to give daily updates on the student's progress by maybe creating a communication log between the parent, student, and teacher. The more information that is provided about their student's education, the more they will feel included and assured. |

if I were in this situation, I would meet with the parent to listen to his/her concerns and reassure him/her that the IEP recommendations are being met and that I have to be fair and that every one of my students requires my attention. I would reassure him/ her that I understand and appreciate their concerns and if they feel like the IEP needs to be adjusted that I would be more than willing to help organize an IEP meeting. |

Since the teacher is following the IEP recommendations, the best recommendation is for the entire IEP team to have another IEP meeting so that they can plan out more and explain the IEP and its current recommendations. If the student is old enough, have them attend the meeting and talk during it as well. |

I would hold a family conference to get to the bottom of why the parents think the student needs more help if IEP procedures are truly being followed. I would have data to back up my position that he doesn't require more, if the data does then I would arrange and IEP meeting to address the deficiencies. |

If the parent keeps on insisting, there should be a meeting that is about this so the parent can stop worrying and the teacher isn’t at fault. |

The teacher should explain one more time, that there are 20 other students in the classroom that also need to have attention from the teacher. Since the child is included within a regular classroom, the rest of the population also needs to be met with. If the parent continues to be insistent, the head of the ESE department should be contacted to provide the parent with insight from a higher up representative. |

I agree! The parent needs to know that her child is in an INCLUSION classroom where there are 20 other students. |
