One of the greatest demands teachers in classrooms face is dealing with students who have disabilities and English language learners. This challenge of working with these students who may be struggling can be overwhelming depending on the severity. However there are several ways that schools are helping teachers with the students who need more assistance in the classroom, with ELL programs and programs to help students with disabilities. In the class I aid in, there are a few children who have disabilities are there are also a few who are in the ELL program. These children leave the regular classroom at certain times each day to go be in groups and work on things and get things explained a little more. This is a time that both helps the children be able to understand more and for the teachers have a little help with their students. These children may be more demanding in the classroom and having this time to go talk to other teachers one on one can be extremely helpful to them and beneficial to the teachers. These programs are extremely important I think because the students come first and always should the priority to the teachers.

I also have seen this in my classroom and i also think it is very important, but I wonder if there is a better way. Is it good for students to get pulled out of the classroom? What if the help was in the classroom instead? Like in the form of teacher aids.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that helps a boy with disabilities in my class is sitting on a yoga ball. I only learned this the other day and thought it was so strange. It helps center him in a odd way.
I have seen kids being pulled out of classrooms to work on things, but sometimes i think it is not helping them because then they are missing important things going on in their normal classroom. I know my teacher often complains about this, because they never tell the teacher when they will be pulling the kid out, so the teacher never knows what to plan around.
