José’s family recently moved to the US from Mexico. José seems very shy and isolated, and his teacher is concerned about his progress. Which of the following strategies might the teacher use to assess José’s needs?
  1. Seek the help of an ESL specialist to provide differentiated assessment and instruction tools.
  2. Assume José will eventually fit in if given a few more months.
  3. Recommend that José be placed in a resource room.
  4. Place José near the front of the classroom so he can hear the teacher better.
Explanation
Answer: A-To assess José’s needs, the teacher should seek the help of an ESL specialist to provide differentiated assessment and instruction tools. Many ESL children are incorrectly identified with learning disabilities because teachers use standard assessment and instruction tools that don’t fit the child’s language or cultural background. To get an accurate view of a child, teachers must use tools suitable for that child.
