Case: My kid will be labeled "slow"
You are an elementary teacher, and Sarah Readome struggles with reading. Title I services are available, and you have consulted with the Title I teacher. However, Sarah's mom is hesitant to agree. She is concerned that Sarah will be labeled "slow," and she doesn't want any extra attention focused on her daughter. Sarah's mom's permission is necessary for Title I intervention. What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a very common issue a teacher will run into when attempting to obtain permission for services needed. The best way to do this is to relay the information in a kind and nurturing, yet concise manner. Be well prepared and have back-up to your claims, and show the things you have already done and how they did or did not work.
Explain to Sarah's mother that Sarah would absolutely not be labeled "slow" if she were to receive these services. Firstly, slow is not a label used in school. Let her know what kind of labels we do use in the school, such as: at risk, making gains, and performing at grade level and not performing at grade level. These "labels" are given to students based on performance regardless of services given. Since this is the first time this is being brought to the parent, go slow and show her data of where Sarah's reading level is and where she may fall in the class and grade level ranks. This will show her that Sarah is not the only student in class that will be taking advantage of the services, and therefore will not be singled out in any way. This also shows her why Sarah may need extra help. Explain that there are many forms of help that she can receive, but one option is before and/or after school tutoring. This would not take place in class and would include her peers that are receiving the same services.
Parents usually want the best for their child and are hesitant because they do not want their child to be made fun of, or feel that they are "dumb." Your job is to reassure them that neither will happen and that you are looking into the best interest of the student. The earlier sooner that Sarah receives services, the sooner she will start to improve. |
