[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As best as I can tell, they are trying to get rid of self contained SPED rooms and make everything team taught (but only half team taught, as the sped teacher will bounce around between rooms)

It's a pipe dream and will not work in FCPS because they are using inclusion to save money (not have to hire as many SPED teachers) when doing inclusion well actually costs MORE money because they need more sped teachers to share gen ed rooms.[/quote]

This is what's happening. It's already been a ****show at the schools piloting it but FCPS is trying to keep that part quiet. [/quote]

It's not just sped, it's ESOL too. They are throwing kids who are severely autistic, kids who don't speak two words of English, and "regular" kids all in the same room and thinking if they put a specialist in there with the classroom teacher that's somehow going to work. All the teachers have clearly said it's a disaster, but the county completely ignores that. Someone needs to speak up, and they aren't going to listen to teachers. [/quote]
