What?
Everyone says SPED at my MCPS school


+1

I’ve taught at 2 MCPS schools in the last 11 years and both used SPED. I was at a MCPS school before that where the RTSE hated the term, but all her teachers used it anyway.


Where are you? This is not used at the schools I've worked at.

My sister is a SPED teacher (K-5) and is always assigned to (2) schools. They are 10 minutes away from each other (not always the same 2 schools).

OP, you should be able to teach anything in your certification band (k-5, 7-12, etc). Apply for a full time opening in Social Studies or Reading.
