[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP unfortunately PARCC testing is terribly time consuming.  The majority of the time special education teachers are providing accommodations for the testing.  And the rooms that are typically used for intervention and pull-outs are now being used for small group testing.  It is only one part of the year and know that the teacher's hate it just as much as you do.  If they could change it, they would.[/quote]

I think that may be justification for missing services during the PARCC week - eg, normally scheduled OT, pull-out services that week, etc.  But I can't see how you can say that PARCC itself meets IEP hours as a way to reduce hours after PARCC testing is over.  Eg: If PARCC testing takes 10 hour and the child normally gets 6 hrs/week of services, you couldn't use PARCC to justify not getting services the week AFTER PARCC!  [/quote]

PARCC testing -- and make up testing, and testing for students who need additional time or other accommodations -- takes more than a week. And the special educators are the ones who are doing the makeups, additional time, read aloud/scribing and the like. [/quote]

Yeah, I get that. But claiming that sitting in PARCC taking the tests meets IEP hours is bogus, if nobody on the special ed team is actually doing anything for that child, is still bogus.  [/quote]
