Students are to complete it at home and bring it in on or before the due date. A rubric and directions for the project have been given. You allow the students time to work on the project during class or particular days. When the project is due, the student brings in an elaborate project and it is obvious that the student has not done the project. When you ask the student questions during their presentation, they cannot answer them. How do you prevent these situations from reoccuring? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Conference with parents asking them if they assisted with the project.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think that asking that confronting the parents might be cause more of a problem.

In this scenario the parents will feel targeted. Instead, the appropriate action would be sending a respectful reminder letter with each project that the assignment needs to be 100% the student's original work.

That way they wouldn't feel attacked and would be willing to cooperate with you.

I think a conference explaining to parents why they should not do their child's work would be better.

Having a meeting with the parents could cause tension and noncompliance with the parents and student in the future. There are different ways I would go about this.

There are other steps that can be taken before setting up a meeting such as this.

Its pretty obvious when a parent assists, or in this case does the project. A conference may be helpful, but in class projects sound like a better way to avoid this.

It sounds like looking for a gotcha moment. Its more important for the patent to know the student isn't learning if they don't let their child do the work.

What are you going to do if they say yes? Rated On: October 13, 2018 7:16 pm Rated By: byXyha
