Case: ESL "Pull Out" Program
Mrs. Green's fourth graders are experiencing an interesting year. These particular nine and ten year olds have grown up together in the community and have been classmates throughout previous school years. However, this year a new student has joined their class. Lee, is a friendly young man who is learning English as his second language. Mrs. Green has referred Lee to the school's ESL (English as a Second Language) program director. The new system involves a "pull out" program that removes the ESL student from the regular classroom for individual tutoring. Mrs. Green has been careful to follow all of the guidelines set by the ESL director. Mrs. Green agrees that Lee needs individual attention as he acquires the English language. However, she is experiencing problems with Lee prior to his appointed tutoring time and when he returns from his individual instruction. He continues to display disruptive behavior when he is in Mrs. Green's classroom. She considers Lee's behavior to be distracting to the other students in her class. When she is presenting content area lesson material to the students, Lee's outbursts and comments result in off task behavior by the other students. Mrs. Green's frustration with Lee's behavior has made her question the good intentions of the ESL "pull out" program.
Questions:
1. Is an ESL "pull out" program appropriate for second language learners?
2. How should Mrs. Green deal with Lee's classroom behavior?
3. Should Mrs. Green academically accommodate Lee while he is in her classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
1. Is an ESL "pull out" program appropriate for second language learners?
I believe that this program is appropriate. These students need one on one time because that is the best way for them to learn. However, when the student returns to the classroom and has outbursts, I believe that the ESL teacher should stay in the classroom with that student for at least an hour so that they can try to keep that student on track and out of trouble. This will allow the main teacher to focus on the unit as well as the other students without having to keep trying to control that one students behavior. |

| Comments: I agree with the program having benefits however I disagree with the ESL teacher having to stay in the classroom for an additional hour to make sure the student stays out of trouble. The ESL teacher has a full caseload too and shouldn't be expected to do this. |

| Comments: This solution is not effective students who are pulled out are at risk to fall beyond. It is now federal law that ESOL students are to be mainstreamed and taught along side other regular education students. Research shows students who are mainstreamed learn better through academic content while they are being taught English. |
