  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?

Hello gyteMe,
I agree with all of the aforementioned posts. Mr. Samsong needs to return to basics. The first course of action when teaching a class is establishing procedures and explaining expectations for behavior. I think that because there are a number of ELL learners within his class, he should have the ESOL teacher come and assist when introducing the procedures at the beginning of the year. Mr. Samsong should also present and model the procedures and expectations in various ways for his students. By creating charts or staging mini-dramas, Mr. Samsong can present how he wants the students to act that caters to visual and kinesthetic learners. This will keep the students engaged and provide further support for the ELL students in his classroom.
