[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we are reaching a point where the "standard" teaching degree or certification should be a special ed degree. Every teacher should be equipped to handle special needs.[/quote] Even without specialized degree, all teachers can handle some special needs. The problem is numbers. 1 teacher for a class that includes mostly grade level students and a few special needs- no problem. I currently have an elementary class that has 9 kids with IEP’s and/or 504’s. That’s on top of the 15 gen ed kid- several of whom are below grade level. Interest list also includes 1 who came in speaking 0 English and a few others with limited English. Tantrums and throwing things is just a normal part of the day. No training will compensate for the makeup of the class. And the hour daily of sped support (when she’s not pulled and not on her IEP day…) does nothing to help![/quote]
