Personal and Social Development Scenarios

Scenario 1

In an upcoming lesson in third grade, you will be addressing state standards related to listening

and speaking (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking

one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion). How would you encourage

parents/guardians to support this standard outside of the classroom?

Classroom

Strategies (within

your own

instruction at

school)

This classroom strategy will be used to address personal and social

development. Improving listening skills and learning how and when to use

the students speaking skills for being successful in learning. Some

strategies that will be used in the classroom will be taking turns talking and

answering questions, raising hands and being kind and respectful to those

students that are talking.

Collaboration

Strategies (with

parents)

I would suggest to the parents to help promote this strategy would be at the

dinner table or even game night. Taking turns and talking about their days

or even their turn playing a game or doing a family puzzle. Being patient

and self-control will reinforce what is being taught in the classroom.

Method of

Communication

(i.e. phone, Remind,

conference in

person, newsletter,

etc.)

The method of communication would be through a classroom newsletter.

Giving ideas to parents that are being reinforced in the classroom that can

be brought into the household. Newsletters in the appropriate language can

help reinforce the lessons being taught. In the newsletter provide an e-mail

address and ask for suggestions from the parents.

Rationale for

the Method of

Communication

(defend your type of

communication

The rationale for this method of communication is to get everyone

involved and ideas for when the students are at home. A question and

answer portion of the newsletter is not just helpful for the parents but also

the teacher. If there is something the parent wants reinforcement with from

the house to the classroom. The teacher can work on a specific method

that might be helpful. (Spreeuwenberg, 2015).

here. Research

support is required.)

Scenario 2

James, an African American student, is very successful in your class and has been on the honor

roll for the past three quarters. His family is concerned with his abilities to socialize with peers of

various cultural backgrounds. How can you support the families in your classroom in embracing

cultural identity’s role in a student’s personal and social development?

Classroom

Strategies (within

your own

instruction at

school)

In the classroom I could support James and his family by having him work

in groups to embrace social development. Since James is a good student

peer assistance would benefit him in group activities and projects. He

could also work as a mentor to others that are struggling in specific areas

which also will encourage socialism amongst peers.

Collaboration

Strategies (with

parents)

I would have James’ parent promote his social development by having a

study group or even have his friends come over for game night or to

socially play. I might even suggest that James join a team sport that he

might enjoy. This will also promote his social development through

interaction with other children his age. Even give James’ parents ideas of

the activities he enjoys doing at school.

Method of

Communication

(i.e. phone, Remind,

conference in

person, newsletter,

etc.)

The appropriate method of communication I would use is a weekly phone

conversation after school. That will give both the parent and teacher

adequate time to speak on how James is doing both at school at home.

Seeing if James has improved in his social interactions after school and any

group activities he may have joined. As a teacher, we should always take

an interest in our student’s well-being.

Rationale for

the Method of

Communication

(defend your type of

communication

here. Research

support is required.)

The rational for this method of communication is as a follow up and to see

how James is doing inside and outside of school. Letting the parent know

about his progress is important in social development of building

appropriate skills to interact not only socially but emotionally. (Ormrod &

Jones, 2018).

Scenario 3

Recently, a concerned parent brings to your attention that a poll was taken on social media, and

students in your class nominated Jenna as the “biggest loser.” How can you best communicate

your school’s policy on cyberbullying, your plan to address the concern at school, and how can

parents address it in the home?

Classroom

Strategies (within

your own

instruction at

school)

A strategy that could be used about in the classroom would be a group

discussion on how cyberbullying is not tolerated in or outside of school.

Also, the consequences that could occur if a student or adult is caught

bullying another. Also, do a question and answer session. This will open a

dialogue in the classroom. Give different scenarios on cyberbullying and
