[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

NP. Why don’t you believe this? If she was a high school teacher and team taught 5 different classes 50+ is easily possible. I’m a general ed teacher, I didn’t have any team taught classes and I had over 20 students in my classes this year with IEPs or 504s. It could have been closer to 30. [/quote]

+1000[/quote]

correct but  I think people are thinking caseloads which would not happen.[/quote]
