lOMoARcPSD|23780900 Roshonda Bass A. During a job interview for a teaching position, the principal of the school presents you with scenarios. Respond as if you were the classroom teacher in each of the following scenarios: 1. Scenario 1: A parent of an English learner (EL) student in your classroom complains to your administrator that you do not understand how to communicate with parents who do not speak English as a first language. Describe one possible strategy you could use to better communicate with these parents and how this strategy addresses the issue from the parent’s perspective. The strategy should be legal and ethical according to Title III: One possible strategy I would use to better communicate with these parents would be to use a virtual platform like Class Dojo that offers translation capabilities. This platform allows private and group messaging between parents and the teacher that can be translated between languages. This would help address not being able to communicate with parents who do not speak English as a first language and give the parent a way to communicate freely. Scenario 2: You have been assigned as a co-teacher in a .2 classroom to assist with EL students and students with exceptionalities. You are struggling to build a working relationship with the teacher because the teacher has never .worked with a co-teacher before Describe one collaborative strategy you could use to build a positive working relationship with the teacher: One possible collaborative strategy is shared planning time.

All of these are important for building a positive and strong working relationship (between co-teachers. Scenario 3: Your Professional Learning Community (PLC) asks .3 you to present the key legal concepts of 504. Explain three of the key legal concepts of 504 that are associated with teacher responsibilities and accountability: Under Section 504 regulations, the obligation of identifying and evaluating student’s believed to have disabilities falls upon the school. If the teacher has concerns regarding performance or behavior that is believed to be caused by the student’s condition, the teacher is responsible for initiating a referral after consultation with school administration.
