  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 would advise Mr. Samsong to engage the class in more student-centered learning activities. Specifically, he could use differentiation strategies that will keep the students engaged throughout the lesson such as group work and projects. I would also be sure to pair the English learners with other students, so that they can assist them.
