    Parent Engagement Case Study

    Marisela is one of my third grade students. She was born prematurely and is a native Spanish speaker who has a hard time retaining information and needs a great deal of teacher redirection to complete a task. Marisela becomes frustrated when a new concept is introduced and can refuse to participate without one on one teacher or bilingual aide support. Today, I am meeting with Marisela’s parents because they have asked, “What can we do at home to help Marisela succeed?” At the start of the meeting we need to make sure that we all introduce ourselves, as I have not meet Marisela’s father and we have a new interpreter for the school.

Given that this is the case it is essential to understand the nature of that relationship and although there can be many types, the most effective parent-practitioner relationship is a partnership. Ideally, this would be defined by mutual participation, shared power, involving the expertise of both partners,…

    Going through school can be a difficult time for children, especially during their adolescent years. One of the most difficult points in an adolescent’s high school career is dealing with the constant pressures to engage in sexual activities. These activities may be fun and games until someone ends up pregnant and has to alter their everyday lives to balance parenthood and school.

The complications of school would not be the only stressor on their minds at this point; in-fact life can become more complicated by adding the challenge of raising a child. As these adolescents ventures through life and experience the hardship surrounding…
