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 do a little activity every other month called Parent and Child Time (PACT). I have found that it gets parents more involved. They come and do a little craft or activity with their kids that I plan for them. It's a less intimidating environment for some of the parents who don't want to sit down and have an actual parent conference. Their children really motivate them to come too because the students get so excited about it and bug their parents about it until they come. Then, I can walk around to each parent and have a more informal conversation with them.                 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: If I were in this situation, this is exactly what I would do.
