[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]how do schools afford this? are class sizes huge?[/quote]

As a Wells LSAT member...our school is about 1/3 multilingual so we get budgeted for a lot of ML teachers. You can look up our budget on dcpsbudget.com to see how it's allocated. Those teachers are in the classroom all day, with 1-2 resource teachers who do push-in, pull-out. Where kids are in Gen Ed but have an IEP/504 and need dedicated hours, some of that is covered by the certified teacher and some is via a resource teacher. We also have a full suite of staff for our self-contained classrooms.

Classes for core content are 30-35 kids; since there are two teachers in the room they can split them up as needed. For ELA and Math, Wells also has a second course for intervention/enrichment for math and reading, which are taught by a single teacher but the kids are grouped by ability. For example, on A days you're in ELA and Math classes with 30-35 kids and two teachers, and on B days you're in Reading and Math with 15-17 kids and one teacher, focused on skills at your level. One exception is Algebra, which meets every day, with two teachers.[/quote]
