  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 feel the student from Mexico should be tested to see where their math level is at. So, from there we can figure out the best way to teach the student. I would first go by the basics like addition and subtraction, then go from there. AS well, if the student is having trouble understanding English, I would try to get a Spanish speaking assistant for the student to help. As well as, for the teacher who does not mind letting the student copy off others. I would take them to the side and tell them that we are here to help students succeed and to give every child the same opportunity.
