I'm currently working with two provisional SPED teachers. One is wonderful and the other is pretty bad. The one with little experience is the better of the two.

Everyone has to start somewhere. When I was teaching, we would say that new teachers bring the enthusiasm and old ones the experience. It's nice to have both on a team.

Sure. But when I started teaching, I had gone through a teacher prep program that included student teaching. These teachers with provisional licenses have not completed the same coursework and preparation. All you need is a bachelors degree and to be currently taking a sped education course. That’s it. You can have a degree in political science, taken no education courses and get your provisional license in sped.

Teacher who posted above. I had no idea about this. That is troubling, but I guess when there are not teachers available, this is what happens.

This has been happening way before Covid. I can’t believe it’s allowed. It’s time to significantly raise the salaries and requirements for teachers in SPED, especially the ones who work in self contained classrooms. It’s not that no one wants those jobs. It’s that no one wants those jobs for $60k.

Hell, non-degreed nannies earn 60K.

He received what’s called a deferred disposition. Prosecutors dropped charges against him as long as he agreed to certain things like he had his state license revoked, he had to resign from fcps, and other things.
