[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Janney does not have "two teachers per class." Janney has the DCPS-standard one teacher per class. there are also paraprofessional aides in most classes who help the teachers." Not true. In most grades/classes, the second teacher is a teacher with a four-year teaching degree. Often, they are first or second year teachers. But they are not, generally, "paraprofessionals" with only two-year degrees. There are still a few of those left, but that is mostly the old model of how pre-K and K were handled years ago.[/quote] DCPS doesn't allow actual certified teacher::pupil ratio to dip to 11::1 in K and up in non-Title I schools including Janney. PTA funds cannot buy additional accredited, credentialed teachers to bring down ratios. So, still no. They are not teachers in the way that the actual teacher is a teacher, even if they have now completed college.[/quote]
