[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that for the school to stabilize, admin will need to do the hard work of overhauling
the curriculum. Until that's done, the mainly inexperienced staff has to struggle with teaching
for the PARCC test, the hard work of the project-based curriculum, and the inclusion
classroom.  As a former parent, I am also aware that some teachers have been subject to violence
and i've worried about whether they have received the support that they deserve. [/quote]

Violence from the students? thats troubling. I have CMI first on my list, alhtough its highly unlikely we will get in, all these crazy CMI posts do give me pause.  We don't have this much parent and admin drama at our IB title one school. [/quote]

Physical aggression or transgressions are not uncommon among kids on the ASD spectrum. Obviously, not every kid with ASD will have these issues, or have them repeatedly, but it is going to happen. Well trained and supported teachers will have ways to deal with most of these incidents and can defuse them and keep everyone safe. But if a teacher is not trained or prepared, it can feel like an assault. Not saying that this is what is happening at CMI; I’m just saying that if a school has a substantial population of kids on the spectrum physical aggression and transgressions should not be surprising.[/quote]
