Teachers: The Writing is on the Wall.

Did you know that you (teachers) will be responsible for all of the interventions/ remediation for all students including the ones with disabilities and the ones that should be in special education? You will be responsible to track, with data points, daily progress using excell or other spreadsheet programs. If a student is falling behind, you are responsible for implementing the intervention and remediation program using only "highly researched"and empirically based methods. The onus will be on you with the new IDEA laws. If, and only if, the students fail to make adequate progress using these methods (after 3 tiers according to one model) THEN the student will be referred for testing and special education. This is coming down the pike starting this year since the new IDEA law was instituted. My question is, what about the teachers? How are you supposed to fit this in your enormous schedule? It takes money, and lots of it to institute this and take the pressure of teachers. sb
