[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC gets 7 hours a week of services, in reading and writing. Usually, that happens in the morning. During PARCC, testing is in the morning and ELA was moved to the afternoon. Her special ed teacher has not been there, so she's gotten no support. Am I out of luck? It's particularly annoying because the class is working on a long term project where DC could really use the help.[/quote]

Your child's hours were, presumably, used for small group testing.

I agree that it's annoying.  [/quote]

But she wasn't receiving instruction during testing.

I can't remember who my child said proctored the small group test, but it wasn't the special ed teacher.[/quote]

Specialized instruction on an IEP doesn't guarantee a certain person, or even a certain credential.  If the student tested under specialized conditions (e.g. small group) then it counts.

And yes, assessment counts as part of specialized instruction.  Of course it does, because otherwise special educators would never be able to assess kids in their classes.  Although this particular test may be of no or limited use in the classroom, it's important that teachers know what kids can do, and other types of assessment are important.

I'm not saying I agree with the law.  I'm just telling you what the law says. [/quote]
