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.

6:1 unless more support is needed. Plus a vocational specialist (classified).

10:1. It has always been like this in NY.

I wanted to clarify this post. I teach mod/severe Transition students that are 18-22 years. Our program is community based. When we are out in the community, which is 80% of our day, we are 6:1 ratio. It used to be 4:1. I just wanted to know how Transition programs were set up in other areas of California. Thanks

I went to my GE science teachers and asked for a comprehensive list of what is taught in biology in our GE classes. My goal is to take the main ideas and bring the concepts down to the level of my students to keep them moving at a similar rate. I was told they do not feel they can share that with me because we do not have our class assignments for next year yet.

SSSOOOO...can anyone help me come up with a Biology Concept list?

Parents want to send their children back to school not only for educational purposes but also for social interactions. I do understand that many children want that interaction with their friends and teachers. But I don't think it is going to be quite as rewarding as many think with social distancing and face coverings to be safe. No high fives, pats on the back, sharing earbuds to listen to a new song, or consoling an upset friend. Even facial expressions are lost. Tough times.

I’m a SPED Resource/Inclusion Teacher which I really love. I really like working with the Gen Ed teachers maybe because my background is Gen Ed.

What happened to SPED working with Gen Ed? Maybe I’m old school, but this seems so wrong to me. Thoughts?
