  Case: Parent Involvement
I am currently a teaching student and have been reading about parental involvement in school. I read that it is beneficial to have parent volunteers in order to help you around the classroom but that first-year teachers are sometimes unsure of how to ask for this help. How have you solicited help before and which ways do you find to be the most beneficial? Also, have you ever had a "power struggle" with having a parent in the classroom and if so, how did you go about handling it?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would have a sign up sheet at open house stating that you are in need of parent volunteers. If open house has already passed, I would suggest sending home a flier and/or email providing information with what you need assistance with. Lastly, be sure to check with administration before inviting anyone into your classroom. If you ever end up having a “power struggle”, I would start to say comments similar to, “thank you, but I can take care of that”.

Comments: I agree, having a sign up sheets shows the parents that you are in need of involvement but does not force them to.
