Team taught classes are when the child is in a general education class, like algebra, and there is an algebra teacher in there, and a special education teacher there at the same time.

Some of the teachers are excellent and truly care, some don't. The admins we have dealt with have been underwhelming.
what are team taught classes?

Very mixed results and dependent upon your child’s specific needs. My information is a few years old so it may have improved with the new Principal.

Hello,

Can anyone share recent experience w/the sped program at Longfellow Middle School? Trying to evaluate all options for our DC's placement next year.
