Case: New teacher, New school
A fairly novice teacher, teaching 2 years, moves to a new state and maintains a job over a phone interview.
This teacher a young middle class female is placed in a school with a high African American student body. The students at this school come from homes with one parent. There are cases of drug use in the house, boyfriends in and out of the home and very absent parents when it came to the school. When the mothers did come to the school it was usually a hostile situation and most of the time the parent was yelling at this young teacher.
The teacher knew that it was not at all the fault of the child and wanted to send a message to the parents that she wanted to partner with the parents for the sake of their shared student. How would the teacher reach that goal?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This sounds like my first year of teaching! I made it a point to reward my students in the classroom for the good efforts whether academically or socially. When our students began to realize that my partner teacher and I had their best wishes at heart, they began to "warm up" to us. We realized, after this, the parents began working with us more. I think parents want to know that you care for their children. So often, they feel as though your are judging their parenting skills when you call over every wrong thing that their child has done. If you can make students feel special and important, the parents can see that when they get home. We also held a lot of conferences with the parents throughout the year in order to allow them to check in on them while they were at school. With so much negativity in these students' home lives, it is important to provide them with a positive learning environment. |

| Comments: I agree that parents tend to feel like they're getting attacked if you call over every wrong thing that their child has done. The behavior point system seems like a perfect way to get the students on track and hopefully less phone calls to their parents. I also agree that proving a positive learning environment is key for these students. I would also try to throw in some positive phone calls to the parents to equal out the phone calls. |
