What are everyone’s caseloads like? And How many students are you the folder holder for? My caseload last year was about 70, and I was the folder holder for about 46. But a program left our school so I’m expecting to be at about 50 this year. It’ll be so nice! But I’m sure they’ll find a way to increase my work load 😂

I guess so. Speech therapists do tend to have more students than other special education teachers, but it does seem outrageous to manage them all!

That’s not even doable! I have 20 in a middle school

Wow! Fingers crossed my workload will be similar to yours this year! Although, I imagine speech in middle school is more difficult?

I have 10 on my caseload so far, but they usually add to it as the year goes on.

That sounds like a great baseline to start from!

This will be my first year as a SpED teacher, my fourteenth year as an educator. I heard that it’s normal in my new district to have around 20 each. I don’t know how accurate that is, my being new and not knowing much about my campus yet, but I’m thinking it sounds accurate.

I think you may need a new district. That’s a lot.

Welcome to SpED! Yes it was quite a load to handle... and yes our district is on the verge of splitting. We'll see what happens.

I jinxed it; they're about two more to my caseload. It's still not bad, though. My friend has 22 on hers in another county.

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!
