  Case: How do I use this?
While is was in my ESOL practicum I ran across students that the teacher said knew how to use the resources she offered in her class, like the translation dictionary, and vocabulary journals, but they had no idea. I did not realize this till I was trying to teach a lesson that involved both. I stopped my lesson and began to go over how to use both resources. Should I let the teacher know?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would definitely let the teacher know. As a teacher of four years, I still remember my practicum experiences. I remember the feeling of not wanting to be disrespectful to my site teacher or feel as though I was stepping on any toes. However, as a classroom teacher (with ESOL students), if a student of mine did not understand how to do something or how to use a resource, I would absolutely want to know. All too often, students feel embarrassed if they do not know how to do something that they assume everyone else knows how to do. I also remember that the students in the class liked to pretend that the didn't know how to complete the assignment because they wanted a chance to talk to me (the new person in the room). No matter which one of these is the case, the classroom teacher absolutely needs to know!
