[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about reading and math specialists? They are not listed here. Is that if your school is lucky you might get one?[/quote]

Each school should have a separate math and reading coach. But only one is funded. Interventionists that work with students is a teacher position. [/quote]

This perplexes me, these are the coach position, some of which are 100% for teacher training, and others can be 50% teaching.  Teacher professional development coming out of the school budget. So if the unfunded position is not, well funded, how mandated is it really. When faced with making choices between a class room teacher and a coach, are such decision left up to the principal?

Thanks[/quote]

It's mandated because they allow this "TLI" position of teacher and coach to avoid having to lose classroom positions. A class will have two teachers--a reading and a math teacher. During reading class time the math teacher coaches, and vice versa. It's still an extra person, but it gets two positions covered in one basically. The decision is left up to the principal as far as I can tell, but they may be told that's their only option. [/quote]
