Overall I feel that CT was a flop this year. There was not enough planning put into it in the HS before we started. The model we had was working fine and now we have changed it.  Not adequate planning time, large classes with distracting/distractible students, not same person between lab and class period. I would much rather have a smaller class that was all special education students that had the same resource period.

Smaller class size, Special Education Teacher in the room for class and lab

# data[].attributes.headline
No, I feel trapped as I have kids that are not being challenged. The class size is to large and there are students that have "issues" besides all of the special education students. Also there are "honor" students that are bored even when given enrichment or other assignments.

We have a great team of motivated teachers and the time to meet. ELA is considered a priority though so this isn't true for all content areas, Teachers with multiple preps are not in the same position.

Great question! We have extremely high expectations of our special ed students in co-taught classes.  We are expecting them to get the same instruction everyone else gets, but also meet their goals and close all their gaps in the same 40 minutes.  I wonder if there needs to be some additional supports just to give them the additional time they need to master a concept.

# data[].attributes.body
Mostly... I have seen higher students really flourish in the role of a mentor to a struggling peer, and others seem to get annoyed. This may be an area to reflect when scheduling: what gen ed students should be placed in the co-taught class knowing they will benefit and benefit others as well...? (just an idea)

# data[].attributes.body
I think our collaboration is a definite strength! Just think what we could do with a little more time :)

# data[].attributes.body
teach/assist, parallel, station, team...

Time to sit and plan together... content area teachers should have an additional planning block set aside to collaborate with special ed teachers. They have to plan for all their other classes in addition to planning with sped.

Do more to differentiate instruction to the students who struggle the most.

Better efficiency (less teacher work for better student results)

# data[].attributes.body
Yes?

# data[].attributes.body
During class, it's assist and station, but during resource it's alternative. Given their busy schedule, I'd like to do more to empower them during their resource time (which would happen if we had more planning time)

# data[].attributes.body
It seems that there are so many examples that need a SPED teacher but instead there is a TA.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes and No.   Yes, because I know we have a strong relationship and work well together. I know we are hardworking and able.

No, in the sense that the students' abilities are too diverse. There are students who should not be with this cohort and are given a disservice because they are not being challenged enough. On the other hand, there are other students that simply need so much attention and simple instruction. Trying to find a successful, working model has been a challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
What they said!

# data[].attributes.body
I see this too.  I try to communicate with my coteacher, but it could always be better.  IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE COTEACHERS ARE ALSO ASSIGNED TO LABS! (sorry for yelling).

We also need to be more reflective on making schedules that work for the students (not convenient for the scheduler).

# data[].attributes.body
Continue to make sure our prep periods match! That way there is at least a chance to meet during our busy schedules.

This is the downfall. Reg Ed teachers need time with Spec Ed teacher to collaborate DAILY but Spec Ed teachers have all of the other classes as well that they need to collaborate with. Sometimes I feel as though the Spec Ed teacher comes in and is "thrown" the work for the day. There needs to be time devoted to this concept.

As a Sr high teacher I need TIME to WORK alone with the Spec Ed teacher.  Rather than learn a theory and why it works, I am sure the Spec Ed teacher can do that at the same time we are planning.

No not as a regular ed Sr high teacher.   Half the students are not challenged enough and half struggle.  The spec ed teacher and I both believe both groups of  students are more productive when we separate to complete activities/assignments.

As a Sr High teacher I would need some assistance in setting some of these up.  We do use some. Much I learned as a Jr High teacher when we were a team with the Spec Ed teacher on the team and time to plan these.  This year Sr. high Spec ed students seem to be more productive and successful in a small group setting - like their resource room.

Our Sr High SED teachers do an outstanding job!  BUT there are only so many of them to cover a large population and a # of classes!  We have NO TIME to collaborate.  If they were not as good as they are, the whole class would be impossible.

Absolutely, in the Jr/Sr High most all students have a sense of belonging. Most have known each other their entire lives making large combined classes very "social".

No, there is not enough time in the day. Her and I have a common planning time, BUT that is the time that I can help students who come from study hall and that is the time she pulls Spec Ed students for help, finish assignments etc.  I feel like the Spec Ed teacher gets pulled in so many directions in Jr/Sr high (math, ELA, science, SS, and specials; that one planning period to meet all of these teachers and be on the same page is not enough.

I like the model and think it has a lot to offer students.  However, it can't be the only service spec. ed students are provided.  Resource or a structured study hall seems essential.
