[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Time for gen ed kids to enjoy what sped kids have gotten for years now-completely unqualified "teachers" [/quote]
But don't worry AAP parents, your kids would NEVER get one of these people. We'll even transfer over an experienced teacher from a Gen Ed class and give THEM a crappy long-term sub than make your special snowflakes suffer!!

(true story)

I believe it!![/quote]

Not true.  My child’s 5th grade AAP teacher is a “teacher in training”.[/quote]

No....this is a troll.[/quote]

I assure you I am not a troll.  It clearly states on our school’s website that the AAP teacher is a “teacher in training” and at open house the AART made a comment about sending extra time in the class. Now I know why.[/quote]

It's not at all a surprise that they would give the teacher trainee the most well behaved, easy to teach kids in this school. More schools should do this instead of sticking the poor trainees with classrooms they are unable to manage! I don't know why more schools didn't do this![/quote]

My student teaching training was in a challenging school on purpose. They placed all of us in those schools because most of us were offered jobs in those types of schools. Those are the ones with the vacancies (this was around 2001). If I had an easy student teaching gig, I wouldn’t probably quit my first job at a challenging school because I wasn’t prepared. As long as the district keeps those new teachers at easy schools, it could work out. [/quote]

Yes, this is what I'm saying - if they put the trainees in an AAP classroom where (a) the curriculum is already established and there is TONS of instructional support and (b) the students are generally better behaved and eager to learn, none of them would quit mid-year like the two residents at our school last year did. They couldn't handle the disruptive kids, but those kids for the most part don't exist (or don't exist in great volume) in AAP or LLIV classrooms. It's really the perfect solution for both teachers and students (again, the curriculum is WELL established, they're not like Gen Ed teachers who are making things up as they go).

GENIUS - why aren't they doing this???? Someone from Gatehouse please read this -- surefire way to get good teachers to stay!![/quote]

I'd correct that statement to read "surefire way to get untrained teachers to finish one year".  Untrained does not equal good.  [/quote]

That's fine, but it's a surefire way to HELP them and give them all the support they need. AAP teachers get support from not only reading and math specialists, but also the AART. It seems like getting a trainee to teach an LLIV class is the perfect solution. [/quote]

AARTs support gen ed teachers and help with LII and LIII for general education students. They don’t help AAP teachers much.[/quote]
