@wyrdlittleguy The Gen Ed teachers have to monitor and teach 27 - 30 kids, and they can have 20% of kids with IEPs. I have all kids with IEPs, but only 4 - 5.
@wyrdlittleguy I have an undergrad in Elementary Ed and Masters in Special Ed. I would not trade my Special Education Resource room for anything. In my Special Ed Resource room, students have the structure, curriculum, tools and accommodations readily available to them. In Gen Ed, they do not.
@DrBradJohnson I am an elementary school special education teacher. The number of minutes I am required to service children is 900 minutes longer than an actual school week. I literally cannot work enough to meet my legal obligations. I'm exhausted.
Getting outside in the morning to greet the kids (by name) and wave them off at dismissal have become daily priorities for me (even when it’s sweltering hot). It’s the best way to connect with families. We wave, chat, laugh, share stories and take photos. #VPASZ#EdLeadership
Don't ever underestimate the power of gratitude. Taking time to say thank you to a student or send an appreciative email to a colleague may only take you a few brief moments, but it could make someone's entire day. #SEL#gratefulhearts#relationships#edchat
Every spare moment I can find has been dedicated to creating a new #GoogleClassroom cheat sheet. It will be completely FREE. Hopefully, it will be ready to share this week. Working as fast as I can y'all. It's already 34 pages in!
