Case: Parent Support
As the teacher in a new school, Ms. Jones is becoming frustrated when she tries to call home for parent support. Often the parent conversations lead to empty promises by the parents and the student actions do not change. She works in a rural county and education does not seem to be a top priority for many families. Is there anything she can do to get meaningful support from parents to encourage the education of all students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Ms. Jones needs to continue to reach out to the parents for support. Sometimes the parents are extremely busy during the day and even late into the evening making it difficult for them to communicate back to the teacher. Sending letters home, e-mails, posting letters on Ms. Jones webpage with updates on what the students are doing in class is very helpful. Holding an Open House and sending invitations home to the parents to showcase important presentations and projects students are completing in class can also be helpful. I would recommend to Ms. Jones to not give up on the communications piece. Parents do care for their children, sometimes due to circumstances we don't know as teachers, they are unable to be involved much with homework or school events, but many times they do check on the webpages, letters sent home, and do come to open houses to check on their students. Keep trying, you will get at least a few parents involved and perhaps this will inspire other parents to get more involved as well. |

| Comments: Inviting the parents to face-to-face events like open-house are great ideas to encourage them to be involved. I appreciate that this solution has the teacher keep trying rather than just throwing their hands up into the air. It takes effort! |

| Comments: This seems to be the only way to get any type of feedback from the parents. Show them how important their input an support is and maybe you will see a difference. |
