I am currently a special education teacher in high school. I have been almost pushed out of my job. I said I'd never teach an 8:1:1 but I have an opportunity to do so. Any thoughts? Does anybody teach an 8:1:1, and would like to tell me more about it.

What is 8:1:1?

likehelpful

New York middle school said it perfectly

It's a classroom that will be so full of love you can't believe it. But you will be teaching life skills basically. I did my student teaching in an 8:1:1. I loved those kids so much. For me, I really want to teach at a much hugher level- I love my subject (should have gotten my doctorate and tried to teach at the college level) - for this reason, an 8:1:1 setting would not give me the fulfillment I would want or need. But, I did love my students, I loved the staff- you do need to know how to manage people, because you will need to manage the paras, which can be tricky. In the school I worked in - and from what I have seen in other schools, the self contained SpEd teachers are pretty well left alone and NOT micromanaged. So that's a plus.

Thank you

I teach 8 students with severe disabilities all have 1:1 support. I absolutely love seeing the joy these kids have and trying to get them to achieve their inchstones is sooo rewarding. I don’t think I could teach any other kind of SpEd.

Okay so, I find myself in a tough situation. Recently, my professional license became jeopardized. There’s many details that I rather not share publicly just incase, but trust me when I say that this was over a ridiculous complaint that wasn’t serious. I have an attorney involved working with me on an appeal, but I’m really nervous and feel that I morally made the right decisions in the situation that I faced. I was wondering: has anyone ever faced a situation like this? I need advice!

A majority of society tends to stick around to things because they are influenced by "enough" people doing something similar. Hence, they start living someone else's life instead of theirs.
