Identify one problem or issue as it relates to you effectively teaching and/or students effectively learning that could prevent students from:

1. Learning and applying the English Language Arts (ELA) course content
2. Meeting the New York State English Learning Standards on the 4th Grade English Language Arts (ELA) test, scoring at and above the standard.

Be sure to explain why this is a problem and provide some context. Then, explain how you would provide a solution to this problem by implementing specific teaching methods and learning theories to help the students overcome the barriers or challenges that otherwise could have prevented them from learning and meeting the standards for ELA.

Drawing from concepts, theories, and ideas from the course text to develop your ideas for the final research paper, you should use 6-8 primary resources outside of the textbook to build on and support your ideas
