The lowest performers need more - more time, more tutors, more books, more practice without them feeling like they are a failure because they are not there, yet, like their peers. Each classroom should have an assistant teacher to help those students or the lead teacher takes the lower students and assistant teacher works with the rest of the class. How do you get an Assistant teacher in each room, MCPS?? [/quote]

Advocate for this investment during the upcoming budget hearings, advocate to the BOE, work with your PTA/cluster to advocate  to Admin and CO for having assistant teachers in lower ES classrooms.  Similarly for all upper ES and MS math and English classes. My kid’s MS math class has 35 kids.

This is exactly what I think is needed in K-2, as reducing all class sizes is not going to happen.  Additionally personnel to be tutor in Math, ELA, and English.  [b]These tutors can be full or full part-time paras or a specific tutor position [/b]that helps out.[/quote]

As a tutor  I charge $75 per hour.  I am not tutoring for Para pay. As a Para, I help out in the classroom, do some paperwork. Pay is minimal, so is my output.[/quote]

Tutor would be helping out in the classroom.  And just because you wouldn’t do this as a Para doesn’t mean others wouldn’t.[/quote]
