[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same has been true at the two middle schools I have worked at. The SpEd Department chair runs many (but not all) IEP meetings and oversees the department. [/quote] Elementary is the same. If the department chair is strong and knowledgeable they can really help alleviate stress from teachers who are juggling a lot. If they are inexperienced or don't care and do nothing-then it becomes a waste of a position and teachers start to think enough give this person a caseload so my load will have less students and I can do the other side of my job. Both kinds are out there.[/quote] I believe this. Fits my experience as a teacher--not with this chair specifically, but with similar "non student facing" specialists. I would think this would be troubling in a small elementary school. A lot would depend on the caseload. [/quote]
