[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has there been any movement on any of these cases?

I wonder how many provisionally licensed special education teachers are running classrooms now in FCPS?[/quote]

I'm sure quite a few. There's a massive shortage in special Ed.[/quote]

Just so we are clear the issue here is not provisional. Some teachers are provisional because they moved states and have to go through the VA process. I've worked with wonderful veteran teachers from other states on provisional. And yes SPED is a critical need area for most school systems.[/quote]

+1  Reporting on numbers of provisional licenses tells you nothing.  You want to look at whether they are provisional because they haven't yet had sufficient special education experience/training.[/quote]

NP. Is there a way to find out how many of the provisional license holders in FCPS are brand new to teaching vs the number who are experienced but new to the area? I would be willing to bet the teacher in question was not someone who was previously licensed in another state. FCPS should not put teachers with no prior teaching experience in these types of classrooms. It almost never works out. The county has to invest a ton of time and resources in making them even minimally competent. [/quote]
I'm currently working with two provisional SPED teachers. One is wonderful and the other is pretty bad. The one with little experience is the better of the two. [/quote]
