Case: New Circumstances
Mrs. Stewart is teaching a fifth grade class again this school year. This will be her fourteenth year to teach fifth grade in the school where she began her professional career. Mrs. Stewart has been very excited about teaching in this school for yet another year. After thirteen years, she knows many of the actively involved parent volunteers who faithfully commit their time working in the classrooms. However, this will not be a typical school year for Mrs. Stewart. This particular year did not have a familiar start compared to previous years. One week after school began, an ESL (English as a Second Language) student moved into the high income neighborhood surrounding the school. A young girl from South America became Mrs. Stewart's new student. The Spanish speaking girl, Anna, would be hearing the English language for the first time in Mrs. Stewart's fifth grade classroom. Mrs. Stewart was told by the office Secretary that Anna had been attending public school for five years before leaving South America. Additionally, Mrs. Stewart learned that Anna and her family only speak Spanish in their home. Mrs. Stewart fears that her collective experiences teaching fifth grade for all of those years would not compare in complexity to her new circumstances.
Questions:
1. After being so familiar and comfortable with her fifth grade lesson plans, will Mrs. Stewart need to change her curriculum?
2. Will the language barrier and cultural differences prevent teaching and learning from happening in the classroom?
3. How will Mrs. Stewart involve Anna's parents in school activities?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is a truly difficult time for Anna and her family especially since this transition is occurring at such a late age. While in my PPB Field Placement, I was placed in a Pre-K classroom with four ESL. Since they were a lot younger they had an easier transition and could catch on to a lot going on in the classroom. While I do not think that the curriculum should change, I do think that adapting her lesson plans is a necessity in order for Anna to learn. Anna will need a lot of one on one work and a lot of encouragement to interact with the other students in the classroom. I do not believe that the language barrier and cultural differences will will prevent teaching and learning from happening in the classroom. It will with the wrong mindset. There are so many resources available to teachers now days. While Anna may be doing things differently for a short while, encouragement and motivation can mean the world in this situation. Mrs. Stewart needs to establish a relationship with the parents right away. Many school have translators and there are programs on computers to translate what you are saying into a different language. |

| Comments: I agree that adapting the lessons plans to help Anna is vey important, and so it one-on-one assistance. I also agree that establishing a relationship with Anna's parents is important and that the translator programs would be very helpful, especially in the beginning. |
