  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' concerns about parental involvement are valid. However, similar situations are possible even in urban schools with bilingual parents. Even though these parents have the time to support their students, the lack of English knowledge prevents them from doing so. Therefore, students are better served with websites that might help them practice after school hours and during weekends. Teachers can also set up an online help session, maybe once a week to help with homework and concepts. However, the challenge is compounded when the student does not have computer access. In this case, the teacher can work with these students during morning work time. This is a 30 minute block when the students start arriving in the morning. Teachers can have a quick one on one session with these students to check for understanding and to clarify questions and doubts.
