Parent : My child is not challenged—I believe they are gifted and the school should be accelerated. What can you do for my child? How do you handle this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) At this point I would ask the school gifted specialist to sit in a meeting with myself and the parents. This would allow us to discuss the possibility of having the student tested. From this meting we would be able to decided whether the student would be right to test for gifted or if we must take another plan of action.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Of all the solutions I agree most with this one because I think it is important that a gifted specialist be present when meeting with the parent. This will help provide sufficient evidence to the parent along with your tests and assessments provided. Rated On: February 27, 2015 12:05 am Rated By: Meredith Bentley
