I'm a sped teacher and wish I had a Para. Lol

Agreed, however my caseload is starting out so low this year that my Para is being used in a classroom to support an autistic student. Seems like every time I get used to relying on my Para, she gets pulled to do something else! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t have funds to invest, but I do have my skill set. I’d love advice on how to start this conversation and also the structure request. I don’t know where to start.

My parish expects the SPED teachers to teach face to face resource/self contained classes while teaching virtual classes in tandem. I am not sure if this is something that other places are doing but I am feeling like it will be impossible. How can I teach individual students on computers while teaching other students (more that one grade level at a time). Has anyone else been told this?

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.
