Case: Motivational Strategies for Students with Little Parent Involvement
I teach middle school in a low poverty school with very little parent involvement. This has a major impact on my students' work ethic. It is very obvious which students lack guidance and parental support at home because they do not value their education and lack motivation to complete daily assignments. I have helped them as much as I possibly can in the classroom with assignments but I cannot get them to study or complete out of class assignments. What can I do to show students the importance of getting their education and motivate them to school?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I posted a similar scenario about students not completing assignments outside of class. Someone mentioned trying incentives, like points on a test, especially since I have older students. However, what I already do is offer students 5 bonus points on a test if they take home their test review, complete it, get it signed by a parent, and return it on the day of the test. Since most kids want the points, they will make sure it gets signed; this way, perhaps it can start a discussion between parents and students about what is going on at school. Finally, though I have had people ask me about students forging signatures, I tell them I will notify their parent of their grade, and I have not had it happen yet. |
