Case: When the parent gives up...
I have been working in a Title I school for quite some time now. While working in the school, I have seen many situations that have caused me to question my effectiveness in the classroom as well as my purpose as a teacher. More specifically, classroom management is an important aspect within this school due to the large amount of at-risk students. Nevertheless, there was a particular student within the classroom that had been quite a challenge for me for a while. I had tried numerous positive intervention activities and implementations that I was sure would change this student's behavior. However, none of these interventions prevailed. Therefore, the principal, myself, and the other academic educators that taught the student along with me decided to set up a meeting with the parent of this child. Upon meeting the parent of these student, my initial opinion of the mother was that she would be very supportive of our efforts in creating positive behavior of this particular student. However, after each teacher gave their account of the student's negative behavior and the teachers' failed attempts to effectively help the situation, the parent replied, "I wash my hands of him". You can only imagine my thought process at this point. As a educator, what would be your efforts concerning the student's behavior after the meeting moving forward?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would remind her that you share in her frustration because you want what is best for the child just as much as she does. I would also tell her that in order to change the child's behaviors, you must work as a team and be in constant communication. |
