General Education Teachers

Please know that training for teachers can be written into the child’s iep. I suppose if you asked for this as a member of the iep team, your district would not be too thrilled, unless it did not cost $$.

It was written in my child’s I.E.P. - teacher training in …. will occur …. .

I am a parent of a classified child and I was told that this cannot be written into his iep . Where in the law is this stated. If anyone can find it in a law please email me at [email protected] I am in New JEsey I do not know if different states have different things they can do?

Thanks

Never have heard of such a thing, it was listed in the portion called Additional Information after the service delivery grid.

I know a great many incredibly wonderful general ed teachers who are creative and try and make learning interesting.

I really think that depending on the needs of the kid a talented teacher will bring out the best. I hate to say this but I think some (before I get yelled at notice I said some) of the sped teachers are babysitting.

I’m really not sure what sped teachers that you are talking about but I know that I work my tail off. My students deserve more than a babysitting service.

My 2nd grader has auditory processing disorder.She did not understand concepts in her science class although the teacher had visual aids which my daughter needs the teacher just lectured up front and most of it was going over my daughters head. It is written in the IEP that concepts and vocabulary be pretaught to her by speech and special education teacher for next year.My question is how will the general education teacher be able to use more visual and hands on techniques and arrange with the speech and special ed teachers the concepts and vocabulary it seems like this is alot of work for the teacher any suggestions from general education teacher would be appreciated.

(b) meeting each of the child’s other educational needs that result from the child’s disability.
*A statement of the special education, related services, and supplementary aids to be provided to the child, or on behalf of the child, as well as any program modifications or supports for school personnel that are needed for the child to be involved in and progress in the general education curriculum; to participate in extracurricular and other non-academic activities; and to be educated and participate with children with and without disabilities.

I got the above from the LD Online website info on IDEA ‘97. It is part of the new law. It seems to me that training comes under the heading of program modifications or supports for school personnel.
