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?

Look up the state standards by grade level. It will give you a place to start.

Agree. If your district has "priority standards," that's another good place to start. I am lucky to have colleagues who will share with me.

Contact your Bio dept lead or Admin in charge of curriculum. Or, you might just have to wait until they see fit to share this with you, even though we are writing IEP goals for the next year. Remember, you do not need the actual assignments, but just the content that will be taught. You seem to be fighting a losing battle???? BUT, you are doing exactly what you need to do!
Just a thought, let them know that you need it for just that reason and if they cannot help you, then their curriculum will need to cover these goal areas. Good Luck.

That's why I am confused. I don't want their power points, lessons, worksheets, or assignments. It's not suitable for the level of kids I am going to have. I just want to know what they are covering.

My teachers hand me a text! Not fun 😝

That's how I started this year. I had to beg for a book to base everything on.....that's not how a new teacher should be starting. But at least I know where to dig for some things going into next year.

Any ideas?

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding? We are not able to meet my students' IEP requirements (not even close) due to not enough paraprofessionals and the district flat out refusing to hire more. I've lost 70+ hrs/week of para hours over the past few years and my students are really suffering. This leaves our district open to lawsuits, but the real problem is the state's education budget. What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.

I’m accustomed to keeping my students’ IEP folders in my classroom & being held responsible for their safekeeping. Now in a new district, I found that the Case Manager keeps all district IEPs in her office. We have to submit our updates & progress notes to her. And we have to make a planning period appointment with her to come look at any IEP folders. How does your district deal with IEP folder custody?
