What does research say about working with regular education classroom teacher meeting the challenges of linguistically diverse students?
This is an important research question, as our current students are the future for the achievements of our nation. Teachers need to work together with their parents and community for the academic and personal success of each child.
I looked at my schools data regarding reports because as a third grade classroom teacher it seemed as if there was an overwhelmingly increasing amount each year. While looking at this data, I have decided that I want to research and implement strategies to increase success for linguistically diverse students in the classroom, especially with the NLCB.
I will be focusing on five 9 to 10 year old diverse students. These students were selected by reviewing the (CAT) data for the current students that I teach. A professional learning community has been developed inclusive of a fourth grade English teacher, the instructional facilitator and principal. This team has worked in a collaborative effort to identify this research and will continue to meet to focus on the strategies and support systems that we can put in place to develop these relationships with our students to increase success of linguistically diverse students in the regular classroom.
