[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When a student has an IEP that calls for specialized instruction in a particular area from the special ed teacher, what do you see as your role in helping the student learn that subject matter?

What do you see your role as dealing with friendship/social dynamics?

Do you feel limited by the DCPS curriculum? What do you wish you could teach that you can't?[/quote]

I am in constant work with the SPED (special education teacher) to better help that student. He or she is included within the majority of my instruction and the SPED teacher will help either in class our during pull-out to supplement to help this student.

Fortunately at my school I have an incredible Admin team that does not limit me to the DCPS curriculum. I can teach however and whatever I want without repercussion.....they evaluate me based on how I teach what I teach.....not what DCPS mandates.  If this was to happen, I would quit and look for employment elsewhere.

As far as friendship/social dynamics, that is more important to me as a professional than any academic "standard". This is my favorite part of teaching and it is so dependent on the student, but I have a wide repertoire in my career to help each and every student achieve his/her best socially/emotionally and THEN academically.  Like I said, I have tremendous support from admin to do this, so I am very fortunate in a public school setting.[/quote]
