  Case: ESOL Student Not Receiving Help
In a fifth grade ESOL inclusive classroom there are three students that came to the United States this year. One from El Salvador, one from Puerto Rico and the other from Mexico(they came the latest in the year). The students from El Salvador and Puerto Rico seemed to be doing very well socially and academically. The student from Mexico seemed to be lacking in both areas. While working in math groups, I noticed the student was simply copying the work of another. The teacher was sitting at the table as well but did not seem to mind it. I felt ultimately the student was not receiving the help they needed to complete the standardized test they were preparing for or in life. What strategies could help this student succeed?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that the teacher should work with the student from Mexico separately because if they are copying from another student, it isn't giving the teacher a true idea of what the student knows. Also I think checking their English proficiency might make a difference to see what words and concepts they aren't understanding because they don't know the English word.

Comments: I think this is a great idea. I too believe the teacher should work with this student one on one so she can get a better understanding as to where this student needs help.
