[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Greater issue at hand is there are so many sp. Ed vacancies. Our AMAZING sp. Ed teachers (spent their entire careers helping children) quit after last year and this is happening all over the county. Positions are not getting filled because they don’t make enough $ for the amount of paperwork and demanding parents they have to deal with. Kids will not get services that they are legally entitled to until the system changes to compensate and make these positions more desirable. [/quote]

It's an incredibly draining job. Many teachers spend evenings and weekends writing IEPs while trying to plan for multiple students who may have different needs. It's hard enough to be a teacher but then not to have any downtime at all because your weekends and consumed with IEP writing and preparing for meetings. It's really two jobs. Very few people last long in the position.[/quote]

At our high school, the RTSE writes the IEPs. She doesn’t actually teach a class. The special education teachers are limited to specific classes such as Resource.  [/quote]
