  Case: ESOL Student
Mr. Wilson has a student in his class who is from Honduras and speaks no English. She sits in class and stares. The ESOL teacher comes in twice a week and does a pullout with her, but for the most part she is completely lost and failing. Is it even right to fail the student with the understanding that she does not speak any English? All she does is copy off of the other students, which is only hurting her. What are some resources that could be used with this student to adequently measure her academic progress?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is part Mr. Wilson's job to accommodate this student. If she is pulled twice a week, I'm assuming an IEP is in place. It sounds like the IEP needs to be revisited since she is not making progress. Resources can be discussed at the meeting.
