[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think stipends should happen for SPED and Gen Ed teachers. SPED teachers with more than 5 IEPS should get a stipend per extra kid. Classroom teachers should get a stipend per kid when class size goes above 25. [/quote]

That would be quite nice, but that would mean essentially all teachers would receive that stipend.

When I was a special education teacher, I had [b]50-60 IEPs [/b](10-12 per class). Almost all of those had 3-5 goals for which I was responsible (reading comprehension, basic reading, written expression, organization, and/or behavior), so I was responsible for tracking between 120-300`goals.

I switched to general education several years ago. I now have between 135-150 students each year. It is rare to have classes smaller than 25, and most classes have [b]28-32[/b] students. As a general education teacher, I usually have 5-8 students with IEPs (usually for speech, writing, organization, and/or behavior) on my roster, another 10-12 who are on my coteacher's roster, and [i]at least[/i] a dozen 504 plans.

Ok[/quote]

LOL. I thought the same thing. There is no way that she had 50 IEPs.[/quote]

Are you a secondary school teacher? If you are not, you have ZERO insight into what a secondary teacher's, particularly a secondary special education teacher's, job entails.

If you are a secondary school teacher, do you teach special education English or math? If not, you are completely unqualified to question any of the statements made in this thread by former and current special educators regarding their IEP responsibilities. [/quote]
