  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!)
What you can do is take note of it and when you become a teacher, make sure you do not repeat those mistakes. Make sure you know what to do for the accommodations and do better for the students.

Comments: Way too passive solution. I think it is important to stand up for children. The grade teacher can learn and make accommodations to teach this class and cl assess in the future as someone share new ideas the teacher can implement them and try them at this moment with this group.

Comments: Yes i would take not of the situation, however I would share the knowledge that I have learned from my program with the classroom teacher, as they may be open to learn how to help their students succeed.

Comments: This is not a solution. This is an opinion. Teaching and learning is not all about making lists of what not to do. Teaching is about making a note of what to do.

Comments: I do agree that the person should take note of it for their own classroom but this is not really a solution because it does not solve the problem at hand in that specific classroom for those students.

Comments: While we should take not of how our experiences will impact us as future teachers, the issue can still be discussed with the teacher now. The teacher seems open to change and she knows it isn't right.
