  Case: Parental Involvement
The ESOL teacher struggles with having parent involvement. Some parents refuse to attend set meetings. The ESOL parents have only been seen when the students are picked up early from school. What can the ESOL teacher do to increase parental involvement from these parents?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think the teacher could send home weekly (bi-weekly or monthly) newsletters that explain the events that are going on in the classroom and some of the work students have been doing, along with praise and ways that parents can contribute at home so students' performances continue to grow and improve. You could also request students get it signed by a parent and returned with any ideas or suggestions from their end, especially if they cannot make meetings.

Comments: This solution is very helpful. I agree with this solution. Sending things home with the students for their parents can make them aware of things that are going on in the classroom.
