[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it true they will take any warm body without even a degree and give them a special ed teaching license? [/quote] It's a provisional license and there's a little more to it than that. Even so, they aren't having an easy time filling those positions. They need to raise the pay by a lot (and I defy anyone to visit a CSS site, Enhanced Autism classroom, or ED center and say that's not justified), and also raise the qualifications. That goes for the aides, too. Otherwise, they'll keep getting a bunch of minimally qualified people who don't even make it two years.[/quote] The sped IAs should absolutely be paid more and their work respected more. The goods ones are amazing. But the minimal requirements and training make me wonder if this is how we end up with IAs who abuse non-verbal autistic children. What were the qualifications of the IAs and teachers who were secluding and restraining the kids and not telling their parents? I notice there has been no news about any of those investigations or prosecutions. [/quote] That absolutely has something to do with it. I often see stories of teachers at early childhood centers and preschools (not public) that are in trouble for abusing the kids. A lot of those private schools only require a high school diploma and whatever an EEC ever entails (I think it’s a few classes?). They are typically paid minimum wage. Many are wonderful but it doesn’t shock me when they end up with people who abuse the children. The pay is absolute crap.[/quote]
