[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS just sent out an email soliciting substitutes, IAs, PHTAs, and PHAs to take an online class this summer and become certified to work in Special Ed, specifically in the severe disabilities classrooms. I've never seen such a thing before, and they've always had trouble filling these spots. They must be scrambling.[/quote]

Will they pay more than $18/hour.[/quote]

Yes, but the work doesn't stop when the school day ends. The amount of paperwork is staggering and you also have to deal with a lot of pressure from parents and admins. I bet if you divide the starting salary by hours worked, especially in the first couple years, you'd end up at about $18/hour. [/quote]

You are talking about teachers. Is fairfax going to call these IA’s teachers after one summer course?[/quote]
Because of the shortages in SPED you can be granted a provisional license with a BA and an initial class in sped procedures. You then complete the coursework while teaching[/quote]
