[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would SELT teachers be taught AAP material? That makes no sense. This is a program for remediation.[/quote]

I agree with you. It doesn't matter if kids are on target or even gifted in 1 area. It should be taught be top notch SN teachers. Some people become AAP teachers because they don't have the patience for a regular classroom or the talent and skill needed to reach the more challenging kids. There are kids with SN in AAP, but less of a range.[/quote]

I know of three former AAP teachers at our center alone who chose to teach General Ed instead of AAP because the AAP classes were so frustrating.  Too many kids sure they were smarter than the teacher and not afraid to act out.  [/quote]

What does this have to do with SELT? Nothing. Stay on topic.[/quote]

It was a response to the PP's statement about AAP teachers, also not on topic.  Duh.[/quote]

AAP qualifications to teach SELT is relevant to the discussion. Teachers deciding to teach general ed instead of AAP is not related to SELT. Get it?[/quote]

Maybe I worded it wrong. I wasn't saying there are twice exceptional kids in summer school. In fact, I doubt there are. What I was saying is the same AAP teachers who have little respect or interesting in helping for children with SN who need summer help are probably the same teachers who during the school year have little patience for twice exceptional kids in their AAP classes. They have no business teaching summer school.
It takes a certain level of training and/or creativity and dedication to help those with SN progress. My one experience with an AAP teachers teaching SELT is, low expectations and a condescending attitude. I'm sure these are probably the same AAP teachers who roll their eyes at having to accommodate twice exceptional kids in their classes. [/quote][/quote]

That makes more sense. I am not sure who is qualified to teach SELT. It seems many people are dissatisfied with the program and it also appears more people are invited beyond those that really need SELT.[/quote]
