[quote=Anonymous]The MCPS Department of Special Education is so far removed from anything that is actually happening in schools. They are not present in schools and provide little to no support. All of the decisions being made seem to come down to the lawyers in resolution and compliance and it’s about preventing being sued and not about servicing kids. There have been no (from my observations) deep looks at programming, class size (for SC) and caseloads for inclusion. They have kept the same models and staffing for the past 20 + years when the needs of our students have changed drastically. Central office pushes inclusion and servicing in home schools without actually providing the staffing and support to make sure it is effective. They want to throw it all on the general education teachers (who are overwhelmed) rather than actually looking at students and providing staffing based on student needs. I would never recommend anyone go into special education which is a shame since I do love the students and the families. Pretty sure this is my last year and I will use one of my other certifications for the rest of my teaching career. [/quote]
