One of her students is an ELL student who is very smart but also extremely quiet. He is easily distracted and sometimes he will even get up during a whole group activity or discussion and just walk away to start doing something else. He is such a sweet boy and a very deep thinker. Ms. Smith is just having trouble communicating with him and keeping him focused. I think Target is a great option for him but his score did not make him eligible. What should she do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think the teacher should encourage the student to get more involved in the classroom. Maybe the ELL student is a kinesthetic learner and if he did a lesson that got him up and moving he might be more successful in the classroom.
