Right now our district is thinking about splitting (we'll be voting on it in November). It would not be good for our educator salaries if the district does end up splitting... this is just giving me lots of anxiety and making it hard to concentrate most days. It will be a relief once we are past November 5th for better or for worse.

Why is the district splitting?

like

Lots of different reasons floating around out there and many have made it political, but basically some people think it has gotten too big. But splitting is so expensive and isn't always best for the teachers and kids. So no thanks!

Anyone else the last to be informed about ANYTHING at their site?

High school special class (self-contained) teachers: What do you use for planning? I’ve always been an inclusive teacher, so I followed the plan book of my co-teacher.

The 11th grade classes I can very much do whatever I (or the student) want/need…there isn’t a set curriculum

Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know. Never co-taught or done inclusion except for years and years ago and it was very informal. Best ways to build a solid relationship with the classroom teacher you're paired with? Pitfalls to watch out for? Thanks!

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. I have no aide and most of my classes are around 14 kids. Some with behavior plans that are only out of our behavior room setting for my class... Is anybody else out there going through illegal class sizes for self-contained? How are you dealing? Maybe a vent session is in order.
