[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you the history teacher? Why did you never take any courses in special education? [/quote]
NP here.  Secondary social studies certification only requires a cursory understanding of special education.  Most of what gen ed co-teachers need is learned on the job.  Unfortunately, OP reported that their special ed co-teacher has given limited information, and they have a hard time asking others at the school.  We can't know why, or what to advise, unless OP reports back with more information.  [/quote]

Yeah, I wondered where the "co" in co-teaching is in OPs post. The sped teacher is supposed to bring in their expertise in adapting curriculum. Are there other reg ed teachers coming into this classroom? Is this maybe a sped teacher who views this classroom as their castle?

I remember an IEP meeting (mandated by the state after I filed a complaint) and an English teacher asked what IDEA stands for. (FWIW she was a terrific teacher, a lot of stuff she routinely did for all students would in many other cases be considered accommodations)  And a phy ed teacher who thought we were there because of kid not "complying" with his IEP  (The IEP had nothing in it pertaining to phy ed but had also been found by the state to not provide reasonable educational benefit fwiw).
