[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unexpectedly contemplating a move and wondering about 4th grade class sizes at Janney, Lafayette, and Murch.  Also, are they all teacher plus and aide, or just a teacher? If folks could help us out, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance![/quote]

4th grade is a pretty big cohort at Janney, maybe 24-25/class across 5 classes.  I would call the school and ask what the numbers are as of now.  They have teachers and partner teachers but the partner teachers are shared across the grade.  [/quote]

For Janney 4th grade technically it's teachers and co-teachers.  PK, K, and 1st have teachers, partner teachers (in 1st they are shared across the grade) and co-teachers (also shared across the grade).  Generally the co-teachers do specialized instruction LLI, Words their Way, Fundations, Jr Great Books, small group math work,) etc. and the partner teachers are more an extra set of hands.  Also, co-teachers cover the IEP minutes.

PP is correct that Janney 4th grade is one of the larger cohorts at the school.  You're looking at 24-26 kids a class.  I have a child in that grade and he has been very happy (and has benefited from the co-teaching model).[/quote]
