Please explain ALE. We have so many acronyms and I have never heard of this one. Thanks.

Alternative learning environment where students with severe intellectual disabilities are grouped together to be taught

Read through their IEPs, progress reports, and evaluation reports thoroughly. Familiarize yourself with the assistive technology that they use currently. Talk to any staff (aides, speech, OT, PT, etc) that have worked with them previously and can give you insights into the students.

Anyone here ever pull a complete 180 career change? I’m realizing I’m not very interested in exits my current position and my degree doesn’t provide too much direction either. I’m only one year out, so I feel like if there’s ever a time it’s now! Hoping to hear some success stories that inspire me to take the jump 🤗

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 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!

While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?
