Case: If a parent disagrees with a grade you assigned to a student, how would you handle it?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If a parent is unhappy with a student's grade on an assignment, ask if the parent would like another faculty member to grade the assignment. Always have rubrics for assignments so the student, parent, and any other teachers involved understand what the assignment criteria is. When it comes to overall grades, always have up to date data on the student and be able to support your designation of any grades. Use appropriate grading scales, rubrics, or holistic scales. |

Comments: I agree with this solution. I think teachers should always have rubrics so they can explain to parents exactly why their child received the grade they did. It is also helpful to have another teacher grade the assignment to show the parents that you are not being biased in any way. |

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. I feel that by always having a rubric you are always going to be covered if anyone has a question about how or what they were graded on (even if it is a parent). Also, I think that by asking another teacher to grade a paper to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the grade given can be a good idea too. Two heads are better then one. |
