  Case: Motivation
I have an ESOL student in my inclusion class. He is very low academically and struggles to retain information. He is receiving assistance through our school ESOL and Migrant programs, but it is not helping. His grades are suffering badly. We took a vocabulary quiz the other day and he missed every single question. What are some things I can do to motivate him to study more? I know the language barrier for him is tough, but he is not putting forth much effort.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would recommend three things. First, continue to build a relationship with that student so you can gain an understanding of who he is, where he came from, and what he wants. He needs to feel like you are his ally, and he can count on you. Second, I would identify a peer who speaks his language so he can have an opportunity to continue to engage and grow his native language. Finally, identify a native English speaker who can be used in partner reads and to help provide other guidance when needed.
