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!) As mentioned in other post, having the sign up sheet is an excellent way to acquire volunteers. It would be wise to have the sign up sheet broken down into types of volunteering, some parents are good for reading groups, some for field trips, and others for art projects. It is good to know what interest the parent and what type of activities they would be better suited for. Then throughout the year you can selected different parents so that one does not feel burned out by volunteering. Someone else suggested "room parents", which is beneficial to help organize events and other parent volunteers. |
