Example one classroom had a total number of 16 students. Of the 16 students 12 of them were identified special educ. studens with an IEP. The regular educ. teacher was now in the role of being a special educ. teacher without special educ. training so when the ME visited him, he was marked down for not exhibiting rigor or taking the students to higher levels of questioning, not keeping at least 50% of his students engaged (many of whom's attention span was less then 5 min.)don't even mention NVA a whole aspect which could be discussed further. There were only two certified spec. educ. teachers to service the entire speci. educ. population. So you can see that the regular educ. teacher did not have much help. What is so ironic is, if this teacher had applied for a spec. educ. position, he would not have been hired because he would be applying for a position outside of his certification. What a joke!!! I'm sure that there are many, many more stories to be told and many, many more that will be told since beginning school year 2010-2011 all spec. edcu. students will be placed back into the reg. educ. classroom. Oh,I forgot to mention he didn't even have an aide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097158142844550473.post-65385722100827765122008-09-14T16:08:00.000-04:002008-09-14T16:08:00.000-04:00Congrats, Candi, on the Post picking up a tip from...Congrats, Candi, on the Post picking up a tip from you.
