[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do people think this is a good plan for Students with SN or ELL? They are still receiving all of their special instruction virtually. At best they are getting babysitters. Babysitters who will be setting them up on iPads to receive there services.

Also WTU has been fighting DCPS for months because DCPS violated the law. That is literally what the PERB review showed. Even the council members during the Town Hall Friday expressed dismay at DCPS poor planning and lack of transparency around reopening schools. So blame DCPS for the delay not the people holding them accountable. Unions were created to protect people from unsafe working conditions. Sounds like they are doing their job.

So say you want your children out of your house, say you want things back to normal but don’t say this plan is good for students. And its not safe for anybody. 100’s of kids and teachers in one building. I dont think so. Not for me or my child with SN. [/quote]

they are getting an actual teacher, not a “babysitter.” you sound confused about the plan and clueless about special education. [/quote]

So how do you think this will look? 8-10 children with special needs in one classroom. Teacher is constantly managing them to remain separated and masked all day. A Teacher that is possibly not the one they had prior to this so  pretty much restarting the year building relationships. Teacher setting up students at different times to receive their hours from their specialists. While trying to keep some students on iPads also making sure other students remain on task, masked and separated. No push in hours for students (where teacher is teaching but students with SN are receiving individualized support). Many accommodations and tactics teachers use to make learning possible during live instruction is useless because teachers also need to maintain distance. So yes traditionally live instruction is the best for ALL students especially students with SN. But this is not traditional times. Live instruction will look nothing like what school has looked before. So teachers while they are certainly qualified will be doing a lot less “teaching” and more “babysitting” or just “managing”.

I think it will be a lot better than DL, the end. The lack of push-in is helped by the much smaller class size. [/quote]
