Case: If a parent disagrees with a grade you assigned to a student, how would you handle it?
If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would first show the parent a copy of the rubric I used to grade the assignment and then show her specifically the areas in which the student did not meet expectations. If the parent is then persistent about the grade I would then show them an example of a satisfactory project and them show them how the two compared. |

| Comments: I agree with your solution. Meeting with the parent(s) is the first step. Referring to the grading rubric would definitely be helpful. This shows how important it is to stay organized and up to date on student assessments. I would handle this situation similarly. |

| Comments: Exactly. It's not my job to give out good grades- it's the student's job to earn good grades, and if they aren't turning in quality work, then they will earn the grade they deserve. I am a HUGE supporter of rubrics. It sets clear expectations for the student and can be shown to parents. Plus, it helps keep the teacher from grading on a bias. |
