Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Difficult IEP Meetings A teacher has difficulty with her EBD student. He does not work independently. He has difficulty with grade level work and he does not complete homework, nor does his mother work with him to get it done. His IEP meeting is approaching. How does this teacher confront this parent about these issues. I always pull the positive out. He is a friendly student who enjoys helping his teacher, etc. but the facts are that this child has difficulty with above stated issues. The teacher does not feel beating around the bushes about these issues will benefit this family at all. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would definitely start off with the good reports because what parent wants negative reports all the time. Then I would let the parent know what is occurring with this student and I would suggest possible solutions to help. I think suggesting solutions would give the parent a sense of relief that it is not the end and that their child could get help.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I do not think this solution is the best.
