Who out there has a child of their own with special needs in their special ed classroom?

I do. Trust me I did not plan this. My son received a diagnosis at age 13 after I was already established in this position.

This weekend was a rough one at home. He's been upset about some poor decisions he made and it was meltdowns all weekend. I really would have liked to take the day off today, but if I did that every time I was exhausted from him I'd be out of sick days.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...

Please suggest , what is the possibility of the offer getting revise

Without warning it looks like we'll be switching from consultant teaching to inclusion...what do I need to know.

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.

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. I can’t even decide if I should go digital or paper-based let alone make a final decision! I’ll be teaching 9-11th grade math and 11th grade science.
