2. How do you bring in the parents when a behavioral problem is taking place with their student?
How to Answer
Parents need to be apart of their child's learning. Often, they are left out because teachers do not reach out. But, parents can be a teacher's perfect resource. Talking with a parent about their child's troubles can aid in communication and a plan for the future.
Answer Example
"Whenever I am having an issue with a student, I reach out to a student's parents. The parents are always open to doing what is best for their child. We can come up with a plan that gives constructive feedback in the future for their student."

"First, I send an email to the parent. If I don't hear back, I call. If needed, an in-person meeting may need to take place."

This is a great time to bring in a fellow teacher first. If the problem persists, a counselor and the adminstration can soon follow.
