  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 have a student like this as well, I worked with her one on one and got the feeling that she may also be dyslexic. I told my CT and then three weeks later the CT acted like she discovered something and said to me, "oh! I think student is dyslexic"......

Bring the issue to attention, share with the classroom teacher and administration, many things will go unattended to until someone tells everyone else that it is important. Be that child's advocate because come test time, they will have no idea what to do.
