  Case: Teacher not using proper ESOL accommodations
I am observing in a first grade classroom for an ESOL practicum and noticed that the teacher does not use appropriate ESOL strategies to help the ELL students in her classroom. This school is a high minority area, mostly Spanish and many of the families are low education level migrant worker families, so home support is very low. When I ask the teacher about her ESOL accommodations she explains that many of the teachers do not know how to work with ELL students and that most of them do not have any ESOL training but the school is working on changing that but for the moment they are not equipped to handle the amount of ESOL students and the various levels of English proficiency. As an observer I can see how much these students are missing out on academically and nothing is being done to help them. What can I do to help them?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Your CT seems very helpless in this situation. Have you tried to offer her ways to help her ESOL students? She knows that you are being trained in this field of education, so she might be receptive to hearing some of your ideas. Also, you could explain to her the different levels of ESOL and this might be able to help her understand each students level and help her be able to look up accommodations for those levels of students. Lastly, I would ask if she wanted help writing a lesson plan so you could show her where accommodations could happen for these students.

Comments: there is always articles and good information that every teacher can reach out to improve. Being not train for ELL students is not a valid excuse specially when the school itself deals with this type of students.

Comments: I agree with this solution. Since teachers these days have to go to several training to obtain this information it can be hard to for teachers to find the time to go to the training's without leaving their job during the day. Therefore sharing what you have learned as a student in a education program would be helpful to the teacher since the school have implemented the ESOL endorsement as part of our program.

Comments: This is the best solution. I think that by assisting the teacher who is feeling overwhelmed you are not only helping those ELL students but you are also helping that teacher until she can get the training that she needs.
