ReplyDeleteI'm a first year teaching in a classroom for students with Behavioral and Emotional disabilities. It's great to have found you!
ReplyDeleteI am finishing my 4th year as a resource teacher in a rural district in Northern CA. I am supposed to be teaching mild to moderate but this year I have 2 severe students on my case load. I constantly feel overwhelmed with all the responsibilities especially the paperwork. This year I had 9 triennials (finishing the last one this week) and 9 initials plus all the other IEP's. I have 25 on my caseload. I love working with the kids and seeing them learn and enjoy it and make progress and feel the IEP's are often too time consuming and draining so little time is left for preparing good quality instruction and hands on materials for my students. About how long does it take you to prepare a tri or initial and how long would you say an annual takes you to prepare. My worst day this year was the last Tues. in April when I had 6 IEP's 2 were tri's and the rest were annuals or a 30 day placement. I felt like I had been getting ready for the IEP's a long time but still the night before I was adding stuff to IEP's until 12:45 a.m. and I only could sleep 3 hrs. that night I was so anxious. I am glad to have found you and will probably be purchasing next school year from your TPT store or maybe this summer. Thanks, Margie
