Kim’s Case Study

CASE STUDY 2

           Kim’s grandmother is devoted and concerned with Kim’s educational performance by

attending all parent-teacher conferences. As a teacher, despite Kim’s mother being in prison and

Kim’s grandmother commenting a negative review towards her, I would proceed to offer Kim’s

mother a parent-teacher conference. Despite not being there for Kim, she deserves to know how

her child is performing. During the meeting, I would introduce school discourse to Kim’s mother

to enlighten her on the need to collaborate with the school norms and practices to support

children’s education. Kim’s mother will live with Kim after release from prison, and it is

essential to describe Kim’s progress, to enhance her to continue supporting her child, just like

how her grandmother has been committed. Communication is one way I can realize information

from Kim’s mother. With proactive communication with parents, I can offer contemporary

advice on how to approach her son to avoid impacting educational performance. A family entails

two or more individuals who share goals and values, resources, responsibilities, and show

commitment to one another (Coleman 2012). Although Kim’s mother has not shown a

commitment to Kim’s life, she is the biological parent. Through the parent-teacher conference,

she may change her attitude towards being a committed mother to his son. By conducting a

community scan and through effective communication with Kim’s mother, I will assess her

parenting approach rather than relying on the manipulative trait presented by Kim’s

grandmother. Besides, I would try to understand Kim’s reaction to her mother’s release from

prison to assess whether the situation may impact his academic performance. Having open

communication with Kim concerning the situation helps prepare Kim psychologically and help

him create room for her mother, who may be committed towards his academic performance.

Thus, I would grant Kim’s mother a parent-teacher conference to assess her social capacity and

handle the situation.
