Just wondering if any parents out there ever check their children to see how much attention they are given by a collaborative teacher in a regular class. For any who do not understand, many special needs students are in a regular classroom that has two teachers. One teacher is the regular teacher and the other is a special education teacher who is there to help the students with an IEP. That teacher should be active in the classroom during instruction, directions, tests, and guided practice.
Ask your kids how many of them see a collaborative teacher sitting at a desk during class.
Given the current financial crisis, I’ll bet that many of these are a waste of money in the high school level.
