Case: Pushing on-level students into honors classes
Larry has been in your honors class all semester and has struggled on formative and summative assessments, especially when it comes to writing. At the beginning of the semester, you spoke with the counselor about your concerns and she shares that Larry's parents waived him into the class and that his standardized test scores showed that he had barely met standards the previous year. You have been in touch with his parents all semester but registration is coming around and they want to know if you are planning to recommend him for honors again next year. What is the best way to handle this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would meet with the parents and show them the data from Larry's assessments. I would explain to them that he has struggled all semester with the rigor of the honors class. I would tell them about the expectations for the next honors class. Tell them that you want what is best for Larry and from his work in your class, you think it would be best for him to take a regular class next year. If they still insist on him taking honors, talk to them about tutoring or any other resources that might be helpful to their son's success. |
