[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  My kid has writing and comprehension goals.  FCPS wants to change both those goals and keep them in a Team Taught class for English, Math, History and Science (speaking for next year).  We feel that the goals should and can be changed (no issue there) but kid can stay in ONE Team Taught class (History) and be moved to non team taught for Science and English.  History works on both the comprehension and the writing skills.  Kid doesn't need to be in ALL team taught classes for those goals to be met.  [b]However, case manager should ensure that those skills continue to be worked on in English and Science (by checking in with teachers)[/b].  [/quote]
So you want general education teachers delivering specialized instruction in English and Science to meet IEP goals. Yeah, no. That’s not how this works. [/quote]

OMG. Let is rest.  No one is asking more from teachers. Relax.  Just want to know what options I have for my kid who is NOT benefitting from Team Taught classrooms. [/quote]

How do you know your kid is not benefiting from team taught classrooms? What data do you have to support this?  It can’t just be “my kid doesn’t like the class.”

Op here. The data that I have is that he says the teacher never talks or checks in with him.  He says they're mostly supporting kids with severe disabilities or controlling disruptive kids.  He says he sometimes has questions but the main teacher is able to answer those. And when he does want more support, he's not getting it because the sped teachers are preoccupied and they tell him to see them outside of class.  Problem with that is after class/school, he has sport practice.[/quote]

Then you have a possible service delivery issue. You need to contact the special education teacher to share your concerns about what your kid is reporting. You haven’t heard what’s happening from their standpoint. They need a chance to respond and if necessary, correct it.

There might be ways services are being delivered in class that your son is not even aware of. The sped teacher might be adjusting the material ahead of time for your son or providing other accommodations.

You need a conference—not an IEP meeting, but a conference to better understand what’s happening. [/quote]
