Case: Retention
I have a second grad ESOL student who has not achieved but 35% growth this school year. Great there is growth, however, he is still significantly below grade level. At my current school, administration does not like to retain any student who is an ELL. This particular student would benefit tremendously from retention and his ESOL, EIP, and RtI teacher are all in agreeance. How do I convince his mother that retention would be in the student's best interest?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have found that talking to parents about their child is a delicate situation. I try to think about what I would do if it was my child. I think it would be important to help her to understand that you are not retaining him because of his language status but because he has failed to acquire the necessary skills. (I would only consider retaining him if that was the case.) If he simply has a language deficiency, that can be addressed as he moves forward. |

Comments: I agree that any discussion with a parent can be delicate, especially when there is a possibility of retention and potential cultural/linguistic barriers between the teacher and parent as well. It's hard to say whether the reason a student doesn't acquire the necessary skills is due to their academic achievement or language skills since the language of instruction of said skills in challenging for them. |
