I agree with Maggie. You must set up a relationship with your
counselors. My special ed teachers also scheduled their students.
When I first started teaching I had as many as 10+ sped ed students
in one class. I found out that it was the sped teachers plan time.
You must raise this issue with everyone concerned. It effects your
program and it serves no students well. As time passed, the sped
students were spread out and often an aide came with the students.
The aides loved my classes. They were a great help cause you could
turn your back. Aides and Paras must be taught to allow the student
to do the work. Most try to help way too much.
