In the past years that I’ve been in high school English have been different each year because my level of english changed. I use to be really bad at English class and thought I would never improve but this changed in ninth grade when I was placed in Accelerated English class because I had joined the Avid program. This made me nervous because I thought I would fail Accelerated English quickly but as I was doing work in that class, I found it quite easy and passed it with an A. This made me feel proud because it felt like I had improved but later I became nervous for starting Sophomore year at Borah. The counselor had put me yet again in Accelerated English class, which I thought it would be harder than ninth grade. When I begin doing the work in that class, some things were hard but later on I found it easy and passed it with an A as well. Once it was time to apply for Junior year classes, knowing that they didn't have an Accelerated English class in Junior year and my scores from the last two years of English class inspired

These types of services might be of special interest to the LEALES members considering, that Latino students because of their racial and socio-economic background tend to come largely from under-resourced, understaffed, underperforming, and inadequately funded schools. (Saenz & Ponjuan, 2009) This often means that the teachers at the schools were underprepared and had a high turnover rate. This might be one of the reasons that 41% of Latino students require remediation courses and only 13% of Hispanics met the ACT readiness benchmark for all 4 subjects: English, reading, math, and science. (National Conference of State Legislators, n.d.) Therefore, the tutoring services might be very beneficial to some LEALES members. Additionally, as first-generation college students LEALES members are also more likely to lack study and time management skill (Engle, Bermeo, & O 'Brien, 2006), something which LARC could also help address.

The site I visited was Chattahoochee Elementary School in Duluth, Ga, there I had the opportunity to shadow a teacher in the Moderate/ASD program.

It had tile floors, an exterior office, and six classrooms. Two of the six rooms are used as alert and calming areas, within these rooms there was adapted equipment, like a squeeze machine, listening station, and a trampoline. The classroom was divided into sections/areas, using gray partitions and study carols. Within these sections was a play area, individual task area, and reading area. There

In an effort to gain useable and positive feedback from English language learners, teachers must use ongoing assessments. Whereas standardized tests only give information on students during a certain part of the year, ongoing assessments will allow teachers to monitor students’ progress throughout the year. Informal assessments are very beneficial in monitoring the progress of students. One type of informal assessment is the use of role playing. During role playing, students are given opportunities to speak in English dealing with different situations. This assessment will let the teacher observe how well the student is comprehends the scenarios and how they respond to them. This type of assessment is effective because it allows students to put the English language into use increasing their English
