[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our MCPS HS a few courses (always English or Math) are fully supported, with a fully qualified Special Ed teacher co-teaching.  Other core classes are supported by a paraeducator.  Foreign language (even Spanish 1, which has high numbers of IEP students) and AP classes are never supported.

[b]Paraeducators do not have a teaching degree and they are not required to plan, teach, grade, or know the curriculum in any depth.  Their role is to offer basic help and redirection to students in classrooms with high numbers of IEPs and 504s, where due to ADHD and unmet learning needs, classroom management can be an issue.[/b]  Personally, I wouldn't be too upset if my IEP teen didn't have a paraeducator in their AP class.  I'd be looking to the case manager for support through regular check-ins.  [/quote]
That is not the case for our MCPS HS.  All co taught classes have a subject matter teacher and a special education teacher, both with teaching degrees.[/quote]
This is the PP you quoted.  Which subjects have fully co-taught classes at your school?  Our MS and HS can't even staff all the inclusion English and Math classes with a special ed teacher.  Not to mention science, social studies, or foreign languages.  [/quote]
