Case: I Don't Fit In
I have a Hispanic student in my class who struggles to get along with other students. He is constantly getting into arguments with other students and always thinks that everyone is against him. I have spoken to him about this, but the problems still continue. I'm not sure if his difficulties come from cultural differences or if he really does not get along with others. At times I think he gets defensive because he doesn't understand what is going on. How do I handle this problem?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
One possible solution would be to ensure that the student had a leg up with the content for a while. Make sure that the student has plenty of resources (guided notes, visual organizers, word-to-word). Make sure the student is seated with students who will not fight with him and/or will help him. I always pair my ESL students with an English-proficient student to help translate if needed (if that is an option). Try to incorporate some of his cultural aspects into lessons and assignments. This will help him feel welcome and help legitimize him to the other students. |

Comments: I like part of this solution. I think that having a "buddy" the student can refer to is great. However, I am not to sure about giving the student a "leg-up", I would want to make sure I set real expectation for each student. |
