Case: Parent Knows It All
I had a parent who felt sure she knew exactly what her child should be learning in Pre-K. She would come to me on a weekly basis asking questions and trying to determine why her child was or wasn't learning "this". I gave her a print out of the Georgia Pre-K standards and explained how we used the information to plan. I explained that Pre-K focuses on giving students space to grow socially and learn through experience. This was difficult for her to understand. She still thought the child should be learning more and that I was not preparing him properly for Kindergarten. Needless to say it was a very stressful year. How do you reassure these parents?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I also teach pre-kindergarten, and I use my formative and informative assessments to create assignments that are based on my students' needs. This way, the parents can see that their child is completing tasks that are on his/her learning level. However, if I do have a child that has mastered all of the pre-kindergarten standards, I meet with my principal and discuss the option of accelerating this child onto kindergarten material in my classroom. My principal is very supportive of this, and I have done it with many of my students. |

Comments: I believe by showing the parent that you are going to the principal to discuss about accelerated program will ensure the parent that you are doing everything in your power to help them. I would do this if I were in your situation. |
