Case: The Invisible Parent
Ms. Bishop has a parent that is virtually non-existent when they receive phone calls, emails, and letters about their child's progress or disciplinary issues. However, when deficiencies and report cards go home and their child has a poor grade the parent suddenly appears and makes a grand appearance ranting and raving about their child. How does Ms. Bishop get this parent on board at all times in a school where there really is no parental involvement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it is crucial to establish a positive rapport with the parent. What has always worked for me are sunshine notes or positive feedback about student performance and participation in class. The parent can also be invited for a one on one conference where the strategies utilized in the class before and during an assessment are reviewed. It is also important to document all the positive communication with the parent. Even after all these positive communications if the parent continues to rant and rave about a specific grade, the teacher can invite the parent to come in and view the student folder that documents all the study guides, class work and quizzes that led to the final grade. |

Comments: I 100% agree with your solution. Establishing a relationship with students parents and maintaining communication is key. I like how you suggested not only contacting the parent for homework or behavior issues, but to also contacting the parent to give compliments and good news. I like how your suggested getting the parent involved in class to observe and showing them their child's folder. I agree with your solution and would handle this situation similarly. |
