[quote=Anonymous]That's actually a completely normal practice. Many school districts do this not just ACPS. APS does it too. When special education students are in one classroom it allows the resource teacher to push into the general Education class. That way the students aren't pulled out and are able to receive the service they need in their classroom. If staffing allows sometimes the resource teacher co-teaches with the general Education teacher. It's really a great set up that benefits the students.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School dependent.  Our larger school had kids on IEP's concentrated into 2 classes so the SPED teachers can more easily push in.  They used to put kids from the same preschools together to the extent the knew and could, but new principal stopped that.  I think they try to balance gender and I'm not sure what else. [/quote]

What school is this!?? I’ve never heard this at any ACPS elementary and I have friends with kids in schools all over the city. [/quote]

Not the PP and can't speak to the balancing of gender & preschools but concentrating the IEPs goes on at GM.

Considering how poor ACPS communication is and the fact that kids notoriously don't talk about their days and parents can't go in the buildings to volunteer in classrooms etc, are you really that surprised that people don't know what is happening in classrooms?

If this is true, the school is exposing the district to litigation as a violation of IDEA.  How do you know this?[/quote]

My (non IEP) kid was in the inclusion classroom in 1st grade at Brooks. It was about 50/50 kids who had pullouts for extra services. It was not remotely secret and any parent of a kid in the class knew about it. Inclusion classrooms are not a violation of IDEA, they came about because of IDEA. [/quote][/quote]
