[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this means is teachers will be asked to do more without compensation.  That’s how things always get done.[/quote]

Without compensation? That’s horrible that teachers don’t get paid. I thought they collected salaries and benefits.[/quote]

Funny. (/s)  It’s the “more” that isn’t compensated and is making SPED teachers leave the profession and creating a hiring crisis for the district.  I don’t teach SPED and I never would.  You have no idea how much “extra” these teachers do in terms of paperwork and meetings.  It’s unmanageable.  How do you think FCPS is are going to perform the mandated audit of all SPED kids?  Who do you think is going to perform the review of those 200,000 or so files in the next few months?  Who else would know how to best evaluate the kids and figure out plans for learning acceleration or compensation?

Honest question - is there a way to provide administrative staff to SPED or classroom teachers to help with the paperwork?[/quote]

DP. I'm a Special Education teacher and my supervisor asked about this at the meeting with the county. The answer was a big, fat NO. It will fall squarely on the shoulders of the teachers at each individual school to handle. There were 10 Special Education teachers in the room during our last meeting when this was brought up. Every single one of us plus our supervisor has a plan to leave the profession much sooner than we'd originally planned. I wouldn't be surprised if 2-3 people put in their notice after Winter Break.[/quote]
