  Case: Well, when I was younger...
Well, when I was younger...
Jan is a first year teacher who was approached by a parent regarding his concern for the arrangement of desks in groups in all of his daughter's classroom. He feels the classroom arrangement is the reason his daughter is not making A's in all of her classes because this encourages her to talk. He makes it clear that he is military and when he was young his teachers sat students in rows and taught and then students practice on their own. How should Jan respond to the parent's concerns?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Jan should first tell the parent that he hears and understands his concerns. Reassure the parent that he wants what is best for the student. Jan should then try and explain the benefits of cooperative learning and how his daughter can be successful. Collaboration is a positive strategy for instruction.

Comments: I think this is a great response. You are being respectful to the parent and his concerns while still explaining why you are doing what you are doing. Your also letting him know that you too want what is best for his child.
