Discuss the issue with the assistant principal
Consult the school counselor for recommendations
Seek advice from the district science coordinator
Talk to the head of the science department

The correct answer is: Talk to the head of the science department

To address Ms. Ellis's struggle with student engagement effectively, talking to the head of the science department is a strategic choice. The head of the department is likely to have insights into best practices for engaging students, including curriculum strategies, instructional methods, and resources that may have been successful with other teachers in the department. They can also provide support tailored to the specific needs of her classroom, as they may have observed Ms. Ellis in action or have experiences that directly relate to her challenges. By seeking guidance from the head of the science department, Ms. Ellis can benefit from targeted advice and possibly collaborate on new approaches or initiatives that could improve student engagement. This choice harnesses departmental resources and expertise, creating a pathway for professional development that is context-specific to her subject area.
