[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Janney does not have "two teachers per class." Janney has the DCPS-standard one teacher per class. there are also paraprofessional aides in most classes who help the teachers."

Not true. In most grades/classes, the second teacher is a teacher with a four-year teaching degree. Often, they are first or second year teachers. But they are not, generally, "paraprofessionals" with only two-year degrees. There are still a few of those left, but that is mostly the old model of how pre-K and K were handled years ago.[/quote]

It depends.  Janney's co-teachers generally are fully accredited teachers, but there are not always two teachers per classroom.  In the 30 student third grades classes last year each class had two full time teachers.  They also had two full time accredited teachers for 5th grade math and the 2 5th grade ELA teachers last year shared one fully accredited co-teacher.  There can be a couple of co-teachers shared across a grade depending on the size of the cohort. My point being they disperse resources to meet the needs of the kids and it may change from year to year.

Pre k and k always have two teachers but not always co-teachers.
