  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!)
It is not good that the teachers feel incapable of instructing ESOL students. With the diverse nature of the student population, ESOL instruction should be taken seriously in the school system.

Comments: This is not even a solution to the problem. Tearing down the school system does not solve anything for anyone involved. The things that do solve this are solutions that positively affect ESOL students and teachers.
