  Case: CT not accommodating for ESOL
I have a CT that is certified in teaching ESOL students, but I have never seen her accommodate anything for them. 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!)
The teacher may have already talked with ESOL students and have a different learning or teaching style. Definitely pulling the ESOl students aside and ensuring they understand and are caught up with the lessons taking place and if not where they are misunderstanding and what can be done to help. If they feel they are lost then definitely say something to the teacher or even administration if you do not want the confrontation of awkward. All students need to be being addressed with each lesson so this is something that needs to be done.
