aasiyah is an eleventh-grade student from the middle east. she has had a challenging time transitioning to the united states. aasiyah spends most of her time at school alone and very seldom engage in conversations with her peers. the teacher noticed that aasiyah had three missing assignments and asked her if she would remain after-school two days a week for tutoring.aasiyah responded with frustration in her voice that she is responsible for contributing to the family household finances and would not be able to stay after school. disappointed with the response the teacher called the parents to see if there was a possibility something could be worked out so that aasiyah could attend after-school tutoring, only to remember that aasiyah's parents do not speak english. how could the teacher best support aasiyah in gaining an understanding of the assignments that are not clear to her in this situation?
