[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm stunned that MCPS is even trying to have special ed hours provided by classroom teachers.

DC and many other school districts have a different interpretation of the law than MCPS. IDEA says that teachers providing direct instruction for IEP service hours must be highly qualified, with "high-quality, intensive preservice preparation and professional development for all personnel who work with children with disabilities in order to ensure that such personnel have the skills and knowledge necessary to improve the academic achievement and functional performance of children with disabilities, including the use of scientifically based instructional practices, to the maximum extent possible." In DCPS it means the person providing services is usually a resource teacher, reading specialist, etc.

In MCPS they interpret the law very much in their favor by arguing the gen ed teacher is "highly qualified" in all cases to provide special ed hours. I think it's a travesty.
