[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an ESOL teacher and I find that more lip service is paid to prioritizing ELLs in schools while more actual time, services and attention is paid to special ed students even though the student numbers are disproportionate. ESOL teachers can have around 60 students in multiple grade levels on their caseloads while special ed teachers have a maximum of 10 in maybe 2 grade levels max, and they have special ed paras to support the special ed teachers with their admin work and students in the classrooms. [/quote] We should move to your school. Our self-contained special education classes are the only ones with anything like those ratios. Our kids resource special Ed teachers can have 30 kids on their caseloads with no para’s and all of the IEP paperwork: meetings. Both seem to be impossible jobs to me.[/quote]
