1st day of new placement

Going into this I was terrified..... middle school = lots of attitude. But as it turns out, all was well. The students were great! The teacher is phenomenal and the staff as well! I think it will be a great experience. I already sat in an IEP meeting for a transfer student. Althought I didn't know much about the child, I was able to learn a bit and discover it wasn't too different from the elementary setting. The actual schedule is however. They do a lot of co-teaching, even though the general education teacher pretty much takes the lead. The sped teacher just provides help. They don't really plan ahead, which is mostly due to the gen ed teacher. All in all it was wonderful! I am excited about my upcoming events!

  2. Kelly,
    I know I commented on this in an e-mail to you, but thought I should add it here too. Typically the special education and regular education teacher has joint planning so that the special teacher can be prepared.
