Recently received my CSW license and have started working as a therapist at an outpatient clinic. Is a starting salary of $64,500 fair? I am supposed to aim for 28 billing hours (get paid if clients show or not) a week with 12 hours of admin time for other tasks. Thanks for any input.

Any Spec Ed teachers feel like every time you try to get your program running you can’t? I am not in a self-contained class but more of a student drop in resource room where I work in small groups with life skills students who come to me for instruction & then take independent tasks back to class to complete. I have a lot of room to add students to my schedule- but my boss seems to think I shouldn’t be taking on more students but it’s my job to help those struggling students. I’m at a loss.

Our county is considering special ed teachers essential workers and prioritizing special ed teachers for vaccines. Is the state you live in doing something similar?

Do you ever feel like you’re not allowed to vent about a bad day? I feel like we can’t just vent and chalk it up to a bad day and move on. If we are overheard saying anything than sunshine and rainbows you have to be scared of admin coming down on you - as far as written up for being unprofessional. Is it like this everywhere?!

Does anyone else have to do progress monitoring? This is bull!

Is anyone else just feeling completely overwhelmed and ready to quit? Administration keeps throwing more paperwork and responsibilities on us and I dont know how much more I can do. I've cried every day for the last three weeks trying to do right by my students and meet all of the new distance learning admin stuff.

There’s nothing like waking up to a call on August 1 from my district coordinator telling me that they want to move me from my middle school resource room SpEd position (which I love) to K-5 Setting 3 SpEd position. I told her all the reasons that won’t work for me and even gave her another idea that would require a non-licensed teacher to be moved so I could take her place at the hs. So, I’ll be spending my Monday applying for a new job in another district. How’s your Monday going so far? 😭😔

How many files do you have in your caseload?

Any Self Contained MS teachers out there. Do you have students who are more behavioral than anything else. I am struggling to provide support to some of my students because of the behaviors of others in the classroom.

What are some strategies that can be implemented with a 4th grade student who’s on a 1.4-2.4reading level, according to the STAR test. This student just transferred in and he is very well spoken, has a large vocabulary(uses words that typical 4th grade students may not), and has a great creative imagination. His goals include reading fluency and written expression. He cannot spell nor read basic sight words without help. Sometimes, it seems as if he is waiting for me to read before he tries.

Just curious, in the elementary, how many students to you case manage? Do you have an evaluation team that do the evaluations and re-evals?

How many of you in SpEd are Multiple Disability teachers with the lowest functioning population on Virtual teaching using the Canvas platform and the Enhanced Learning Program that is within the Canvas Platform? I have started putting things in place today and am finding it to be easier to get into it and follow the process with suggestions for improvements and leveled activities for the individual students. I have a lot to learn in a small increment of time. Would love to team up 🎓

Hi. I am a Transition teacher in California. I would like to know what is the ratio of students to staff for community outings in your districts? I have been teaching in my district for 20+ years and it has always been 4:1 ratio for our moderate/severe transition classes. Now our director is saying it's 6:1 and I don't feel like this is safe for our students.

I'm struggling. My 2nd graders have so many behavior issues. My heart hurts for them. I don't know how to help them. They have no clue how to navigate a traditional classroom.
