Most of the time I see her giving long complicated directions out the class, or giving them a laptop and letting them figure out what to do by themselves. I work with the ESOL students when I am there, but I am only there one day a week for half of the semester. How can I make sure these students are getting the support they need? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Continue doing the things that you know you should do when working with the students, and maybe if possible leave some of these resources for the CT to use, when you are not there. Also, if you are able to talk to the teacher during planning, you can casually mention things that you are doing with the students, that has really led to some success in them comprehending the content, as a bit of a "hint, hint" you should be doing this too. Recognize though, that there is a lot on a teacher's plate each and every lesson, and while they are not doing things that they should, it is probably because they are trying to accomplish many other things at the same time, and just trying to reach as many students as they possibly can in the short amount of instruction time they have.
