While reviewing the mathematics lesson plans of one of your teachers, you realize they reflect a teacher-centered approach and does not have any engaging activities included. The plans outline a ‘skill and drill’ style of teaching with repetition and speed of math facts being the main objective of the entire lesson.
Teachers in your school know how to use manipulatives and other strategies to reach students. However, this respected teacher has not adopted the use of manipulatives.

The standardized assessment results for these students indicate that the ELL students are under-performing in the area of LAL. In your conversations with the teachers, you sense that they are either unwilling or lack the skills to address the challenge.
