How long do you spend on core subjects if not a goal on IEP? So if most goals are life skills (putting shoes on, zipping, etc.) how long would you spend on math during math hour or how much do you worry about writing activities if they can’t write etc?

How will the student learn language and mathematical skills and concepts if they aren't exposed to them?

I teach a self contained program for students with severe disabilities. Everything revolves around life skills, with functional communication being a big one. When doing any lesson/subject, I keep it short and incorporate their goals into the lessons (making choices, fine motor, following directions). A typical lesson or activity in my class is usually around 15-20 minutes

The attention span for my students is very short. We do have longer lessons, but they involve lots of support from the IAs

I believe it does as the application period to renew DACA benefits was reopened in 2020. Thoughts?

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!

I feel like I'm at my wits end. I teach self-contained classes and according to the ISBE website my classes shouldn't be more than 8 students unless I have an aide - then it can be 10.

Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.
