[quote=Anonymous]Wow, it’s interesting how people paint DCPS. As a self contained teacher I have transitioned multiple students out of my room to gen ed.

A child isn’t put into self contained based on grades alone, that is a recipe for disaster. I have kids 1-2 grade levels above their own in my CES classroom lol. Some kids just need a smaller class size and get way overwhelmed and then their behaviors become unmanageable in gen ed. So I give them the tools to make that possible for them.

For my kids who are way behind, the goal is to gain 1.5-2 years in one year. You can always ask for this data. Strangely I’ve had a lot of parents with advocates and such (which doesn’t bother me) but they ask me how I move children.

This is only my 3rd year with DCPS and I didn’t realize they have such a poor reputation for sped. I do think it really depends on the teacher and the program.

I’d always advocate for gen ed and pull out/push in before self contained.

Ps. Private placement isn’t the goldmine parents think it is, often times it can hinder your child more.[/quote]
