[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, not even close. Yes, we do cluster students with IEPs in order to efficiently and effectively provide services to them. It would be impossible to meet their service hours if they were spread out across all the classrooms in a grade level. A special education teacher can push in and provide services.

All classes are heterogeneous in term of academic performance. The spec ed inclusion class(es) will have just as many high performing students as any other class. There is not one class that is "more academic" than the others.

The "best" teacher is a relative term.

I'm curious how you come to these assumptions OP? Are you a substitute teacher who has worked in each K, 1st and 2nd grade classroom and observed all the students in an academic setting? That is the only way I might see you having a tiny perspective to make your claim. How would you expect another parent to support your claim?

This! If there is a "best" teacher on our grade level, she is the one who has most of the students with IEPs. She SPED certification, though she is currently a Gen Ed teacher. It makes the most sense for scheduling purposes and it provides students with IEPs instruction with the teacher most qualified to meet their needs. We try to spread out the high, medium, and low students between all the teachers (in addition to spreading out students with behavior challenges, etc.).[/quote]
