[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The turnover at my school is predictable I think, it’s mainly SPED staff and the teachers who have inclusion clusters in their classroom. We aren’t getting enough support, the needs are too great for many of the students who would have been spending much more time in self-contained a few years ago. I think the new inclusion goals are noble yet unrealistic. I’ve already decided that if I’m ever hit again I’ll quit. FWIW, I rarely hear anyone complain about pay, it’s been pushed to the bottom of concerns in my circle. [/quote]

what are the inclusion clusters?[/quote]

Mainstream classrooms with special education students included.[/quote]

are these spread evenly among all the grade classes, or do only some teachers get burdened with them?[/quote]

Most are usually in a co-taught class at each grade level, but as PP stated there are more students who fit this category, so a few usually overflow into an additional classroom. [/quote]

Wait a sec... so only one class per grade gets to absorb challenging students for the most part? Is this a common policy? That's not fair, period.[/quote]
Plenty of behavioral problems without IEPs who are spread around to all classes. [/quote]
