So help me frame this conversation with the directors?
And what do I do if they stonewall me?
I am never nervous, but as a teacher, my fear of being a pita is kind of crippling me here.
Re: So help me frame this conversation with the directors?
"The room transition has been tough for P. Could we take it a step back and do a more gradual transition? I feel that if she starts out the day in the old room with more familiar routines and people, she'll be comfortable enough to move to the 5's room later for the afternoon. Would this be possible?"
Was that the route that you decided to take? I can't remember. Just because your teacher experience allows you to see it from their perspective doesn't mean you can't bring concerns to them. I'm sure you appreciate when parents bring up issues in a caring, respectful way with suggestions for a constructive solution, right? Because in the end, everyone wants what's best for the kids. They do, too, so I'm sure they'll want to know if there's something that can be done to make P's environment better.
These people work for you, not the other way around. Keep that firmly in mind.
"Sally, I wanted to talk with you about P. I know you'd asked if we could try her moving up to the older kids' room, but it's not working out for her. We need to have her placed back in the X Room, where she belongs, till August."
(I'm assuming this is about getting P back in her regular room).
That's a good reminder Suesue. I hate whining.
