Case: How Should the Principal React?
The principal of Sagemont Junior High School was very concerned about a teacher on his staff. In the midst of major changes in the student population throughout the last few years, this rebellious educator was not willing to meet the new challenges the school encountered. Many new housing projects had been built in the neighborhoods surrounding the school. As a result, culturally different students were enrolling in Sagemont Junior High. Many of the students did not speak English. Furthermore, most of the new families moving in were living together with relatives in the housing projects. In the newcomer's culture, it was acceptable for many family members to live together in a small dwelling in order to succeed in their new environment. However, the veteran teacher was determined to force the new ESL (English as a Second Language) students to change and conform to the way of life already established in the community. This particular teacher informed the principal that she was not going to alter her lesson plans for the students who seemed to be taking over and changing Sagemont Junior High School.
Questions:
1. How should the principal react to the experienced teacher's point of view concerning the changes in the school's population?
2. Does the rebellious teacher have a valid complaint?
3. Should the Junior High School staff accommodate these students who are bringing diversity to the local area?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
1. The principal should tell the teacher that this is a building for learning, and that all students should have an equal opportunity to learn. The teacher may need to alter her lesson plans to accommodate the students.
2. The teacher's point has little validity, because as a teacher she is discriminating against students based off their culture. In any given classroom there are going to be higher level learners and lower level learners, but that is a teachers job to meet the needs for everything. This situation being no different.
3. Yes, the Junior High School staff should provide education for all these students regardless on their race and language. Due to the large increase in numbers, the school could hirer extra ESOL help to provide those skills. |

| Comments: I agree, every student has the same right to learn no matter what accommodations need to be made. The teacher obviously does not want to add the additional work that may be involved and this would be no different from having a student with a learning disability. |

| Comments: This is the best solution because it says that "this is a building for learning, and all students should have an equal opportunity to learn". When you become a teacher, you have to be able to fulfill the needs of all of your students including those that are English Learners. |
