  Case: Can't test out
I have several students in my ESOL Practicum that have been living in the United States since they were infants and have been in ESOL for several years. Still, they cannot test out of the ESOL Program. They need to get a 3 on FCAT and pass the CELLA test. One of the students is a 6th grader who cannot read. He has difficulties with decoding simple words. I tried giving him a passage in Spanish, and he still could not read it. I suspect that there is more than just a language issue here. He is in 3 ESOL classes, but I think he needs other ESE support. What can we do for him when he is stuck in ESOL?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since he is already in ESOL classes and there is time to work with the student one on one, I would start by using that time to tutor him in the areas that you think he needs. I would also bring up the issue with the ESE teachers and see if there can be other testing initiated for him. If he is placed into ESE classes, then he will be receiving the help that he needs anyway which may help him exit out of the ESOL classes.
