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!)
IF you and other teachers are all in agreeance that the student would benefit tremendously from retention I would definitely set up in interview that includes you as well as the students other teachers and his mother. I would first express that her child is making progress just not as much as you and the other teachers would like to see. Then you could suggest retention and the benefits to her child. |

Comments: I don't think this is in the best interest of the student or the teacher since ultimately the decision whether or not to retain a student is up to administration. To call in the family and say all of this may be more damaging than helpful. |

Comments: I enjoyed reading your solution. I like how you suggested starting on a positive note by stating that the child has made progress. I think it is a good idea to have the other staff members present that way the parent(s) know you are all in agreement. Highlighting the benefits of retention is another great idea. I would handle this situation similarly. |

Comments: Teacher agreement isn't the issue here. This is an administrative issue that needs to be brought up with them, not the parents. |

Comments: I don't agree that you hold a meeting with all of those teachers and the parent. The parent can feel bullied into what you are asking and there is no need to over whelm a parent with so many teachers. Also the meeting should never take place with out an administrative okay. |
