[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no such thing as co-taught honors classes, you can either have sped support or honors classes.

Teachers don’t have to be trained I. The program to administer it with Fidelity- they can just read the teacher guide.

There is no such thing as certification in teaching OG programs.

Teachers can’t say the word dyslexia in parent teacher conferences, it is illegal.

To be fair- I think some of the people saying these things believed them.  But the mysterious district policy trainings seem to be the source.[/quote]

Some of these seem like just a miscommunication. At the schools where I’ve taught there are no cotaught honors sections because there isn’t the enrollment to justify it. If 10 kids needed cotaught honors algebra then sure it could be created, but for 1-3 kids they can’t use the staffing for it. FAPE doesn’t require honors cotaught, just an “appropriate” course. Some schools don’t offer honors at all in certain subjects, others it’s only honors. It just depends on the demands.

For the last one, teachers aren’t allowed to diagnose or suggest. If your child has dyslexia then I will happily talk to you about it, but if it hasn’t been diagnosed all I can share is factual observations of what I’m seeing. We can then test reading and comprehension ability, but I will never say I think a kid might have xyz in any meeting.[/quote]
