  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 would suggest one on one teacher help. The student seems as though they are not getting enough attention therefore they are just copying others work so they don't fail.

Comments: I slightly disagree with this solution because as the teacher of a fifth grade ESOL class he/she probably doesn't have enough time to do one on one with the student. Maybe instead you can ask the other students to translate the language or ask your best student to help the other student.

Comments: Although this would be very helpful, a teacher unfortunately 20 other kids to worry about and might not have the time to give him that one on one attention that he needs.

Comments: I would not recommend this as a solution. You are separating a student who needs to feel safe and part of a group not more separate from the class.
