His classroom make-up consist of half ESOL students and half EIP. How can he maximize the education of the two students while teaching the rest of the class with no other assistance. When asked for help he was told no that he is a great teacher. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) How many students are in the classroom? If only two of the students are ESOL and this makes up half the class, then class size should not be a huge deal. If there are two languages in the class and EIP students then instruction may change to a small group setting. Independent work will be difficult in this class. I typically break my classroom into two smaller groups. All students are instructed in English because their plan should specify this. Once students are instructed I give one group independent work while I take the other small group and work with them on a more individualized basis to work with them on the material. After the simpler problems are explained I switch groups.
