  Case: Managing the Class
During your classroom walkthroughs, you visited a 2nd grade classroom. When you walked in, the teacher, Mr. Samsong, was having classroom management problems during instruction. Students were getting up out of their seats without permission, talking to one another, and drawing instead of paying attention to the instruction. In the class, 11 of the 25 students were English learners. What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think a great option would be to partner her with a peer that has great classroom management. Have someone cover her class for an hour or two, two or three times over the course of a week or two. Allow her to observe how the other teacher runs her classroom. She may also need some ESOL support. Sometimes having a second adult is a good start.

Comments: I do not think that having another teacher come into the room will have much impact on the behavior. It may make it worse overall. I think it is important that the teacher implements the rules of the classroom and makes the children fully aware of the expectations and the things that are not accepted. Also, the teacher needs to make instruction engaging and fun since the students are mixed with ELL students who may not understand so well.
