  Case: Insistent Parent
There is a parent whose high school kid is an ESE student integrated in a regular classroom. Despite his IEP's recommendations which are followed, the parent expects the teacher to give student more individualized attention. The teacher has made clear the IEP's recommendations are followed and trying his best to work with the kid. But the parent is being insistent. What should the teacher do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher should try and meet with the parent face to face. It would be helpful to include everyone involved in this students education ie. IEP team. I would try and show proof of improvement or attention and discuss what strategies might be more helpful. Parental involvement should be encouraged and it might be helpful. I would also discuss strategies that they've seen success with from other teachers. Maybe there are more simple ways to keep tabs on their child without completely uprooting your schedule. Definitely, address the parents concerns but lead them to understand where you are coming from.

Comments: Having a meeting with the student, parents, administrator, and teacher is a great idea to ensure that everyone is on the same page and a great effective strategy to help the student with what is needed to help learning within the classroom and to help the parent feel at ease. Parental involvement is crucial with ESE students and you want them to feel comfortable with their child in your classroom not that their child is being left behind.
