Read and respond to at least two of your classmates.
As a parent, how would you respond to your classmates, and why? Was there any information written you felt could be misinterpreted in your classmates’ posts? Was anything ambiguous? What would be your next step, as the parent?
Instructor Dawson
Collecting data is a great beginning, as it takes your emotional opinion out of the equation. However, the scenario already states that parent has not been responding to repeated efforts to contact them. Explain how you are going to share the data that you collected and your concerns about the student....
Itzel Wallace
As a teacher, it is your job to reach out to parents who are not as communicative as other parents. Read the following scenario and respond to the prompt below.
Frank Smith, a student in your seventh grade English class, has been creating quite a stir in your class lately. This is not his typical behavior. Usually he come into class, sits down, and starts his warm-up, but recently he’s been walking in five minutes late without a pass, bothering students on the way to his desk, and submitting incomplete work. You’ve asked him if there is anything he wants to talk about or if there is anything going on at home, to which he always replies, “Nope.” You have tried calling his mother several times and giving notes to Frank to take home, but she has not returned any of your messages. As Frank’s teacher, what is your next step to try to develop a parent/teacher relationship?
First step I would do is note all the information of my student’s change. When did I notice the behavior to change? How is it affecting hi performance academically and socially? After collecting the data is analyzing the situation and find all possible means to communicate with his parents. I am sure that the notes I give Frank are not getting to his parents and there is the possibility that he might be intervening the phone messages. As a teacher I would be very concern about my student. As a concern teacher my next step would have been to inform the vice principal about the situation. Informed her that my next step is to go to the student’s home and try to establish communication with his parents. Find out why they have not being able to return my calls or notes. I would ask a liaison or another teacher to assist me in case anything goes wrong.
For this case I would follow the guidelines of how to engage parents of “Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports” (PBIS, 2013). I believe that it is the best step I can use help my student and communicate with the parents. “Families become recognized as important members of the school community, increasing the outcomes for all children” (Barrett, n.d.). Parents are more important they actually realized. The relationship between parent and teacher can make such a difference in the child’s performance. Constant communication and teamwork can help the student have a high self-esteem and motiv.

1. If I were to have to require a license to parent, I would require psychological and drug/alcohol testing. I think this is so important because children are so helpless, they only know what their environment allows them. Obviously substance abuse is bad and not healthy for children to be around or those children will end up being in custody of the state. Psychological testing to ensure that the child will be in safe hands from the moment they are born. I am so tired and saddened by the constant reports of child abuse, molestation, death..... and so many of these are by the parents own hands!
I think some of the other things that may seem logical to have straightened out before parenting are actually what makes us who we are.
2. I grew up with both parents, having been together since they were 15 and their first child at 15/16. They had 5 children (all girls!) and just celebrated their 36th anniversary a few weeks ago! I have shared my family story with many people as we are moving and making new friends. I find that people are surprised at the successful outcome that my parents had being put in that position at such a young age but recently I was asked a similar question by a friend and I keep circling back to the word respect. My parents drilled that into us; whether it was self-respect/image, respect for our elders, coaches, or our home. I really believe that one word/virtue has taught me so much throughout my life and is always useful.
3. Learning the value of respect and its impact, I have tried to do as my parents did and teach my children the same way. I have witnessed this paying off by the way my kids interact with others and feel good knowing that I can trust them to make good decisions even if I am not there. All of that comes back to them understanding respect. They need to respect my decisions as a parent, respect other people and their property, display respectful behavior, respect the community and environment.

If you had to obtain a license to parent, what would you require, and why?
I believe parents obtaining a license before becoming a parent is a good idea. Ethical parenting above all is responsible caregiving, requiring of parents enduring investment and commitment throughout their children’s long period of depending (Bornstein, 2002). I believe this to be logical, because how you raise your kids will determine (most of the time) how they will live their adult lives. Rather they were raised right and live a good adult life or raised wrong and live a bad adult life. Sometimes growing up bad influences you to do the right thing when you become an adult. Most parents now in days have no clue on what to do to become a parent. Majority of them go off of social media and how they were raised.
Discuss an incident from your childhood which typifies the parenting style of your parent(s).

2. Overview of child Thomas is a 4th grader that recently turned 11 years old. He is good at Math. He likes football and basketball best. He hates broccoli and soap in his eyes. One day Thomas wants to be an acrobat, a police officer and design video games. He likes to play outside with his brother and cousins. Thomas lives with his Grandmother, two aunts, an uncle and 4 cousins. He has an emotional disability. Thomas likes to use the computer and do Science experiments at school.
3. Overview of the family Thomas lives with his grandmother because his mother was young when he was born and she struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. He has an aunt that lives with them that has a developmental disability and he does not get along very well with her. She tries very hard to be his friend, and he does not want anything to do with her. His grandmother has a lot going on and I can see where it would be easy to become overwhelmed. His brother recently moved back into the home from a residential treatment facility. This transition concerned his family, but so far this is going well. I think his grandmother is doing the best she can with the situation she has in front of her. There are some high need family members and she holds it all together. His mother comes around and has been involved in his life to varying degrees, but he does not live with her. They all seem to get along well. Besides the other aunt and her family moving in Thomas has a stable home life. His grandmother has been a consistent person in his life since he was born.
4. school Thomas is in my regular ed 4th grade classroom he receives services from his inclusion teacher. He was in a self-contained ED room until last year. He did not like that situation and initiated the move to a regular classroom. He needs the extra support the inclusion teacher offers, but he knows that when he was in the other classroom his work was watered down. He told me one time that the only reason he passed 3rd grade was because they gave him baby work in the self-contained classroom. He is doing ok in my class this year. He has improved on his interpersonal skills and is getting better at making friends. He does not like to look “different” than the other students so it was a struggle at first to convince him to use the support from his special education teacher. He is occasionally pulled out for different assignments with a group. At school Thomas is a part of the Password Mentoring Program. He has a wonderful mentor this year that has worked really hard with him to use strategies when he becomes angry. I have seen him use the skills she has taught him and avoid some negative situations as a result. He can become very angry and react before he has time to think about what he is doing. Password has helped him replace the old, negative behaviors with positive ones.
5. goals Thomas wants to pass 4th grade. Thomas wants to be a policeman when he gets older, we discussed the training it takes to become a police officer. His grandmother wants him to graduate from high school and obtain a job to support himself. From a professional standpoint, I want Thomas to graduate from high school. He is capable of doing this with the right supports in place. After high school I hope he finds a job that can support him or attend a vocational or technical program. His mentor’s goal for him is to continue to improve his social skills and use the strategies she has taught him to control his anger.

7. What I learned I learned that I can have misconceptions about people before I really know them. Before I got to know this family I assumed that there was not much support at home for Thomas and he was on his own in a sense. I was wrong. His grandmother does everything she can and knows to do to support her children and grandchildren. I have learned to really listen and communicate with families I work with. This will immensely improve our relationships and in turn provide a more complete education for the student involved. From this experience I have learned to have empathy for parents and try to put myself where they are and not to assume they know things about the educational system. I have learned that most families and parents want what is best for their children and want the support of the school to help them achieve that goal.
8. What the family learned I hope I have shown this family that there are support groups and services out there to help the grandmother deal with everything she has going on at home. I have tried to help the situation with Thomas and his aunt improve. So far, he is tolerating her better, but still not on the level that his grandmother would like.
9. Connections to readings I think this text had some valuable information. I think the parts about communication were the most helpful to me. I need to remember to truly listen and try to understand where the parents of my students are coming from. Also, the case study stories were very interesting and told the story from such an interesting perspective. Sometimes, I forget that even though I have many students in my classroom that each of those children are someone’s child. I think remembering this will help me to try to always put the child’s best interest first.
