Funny the BOE offers so much assistance and mediation help for the parents of students that require help in these classes, however for GE students it is basically you have no outlet, just voice messages and emails that fall on def ears and blind eyes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11492070951192884418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394715790416688043.post-54911405603839363612013-09-16T17:54:40.304-04:002013-09-16T17:54:40.304-04:00Hi Omar! If your child is not a special education ...Hi Omar! If your child is not a special education student but is placed in an ICT classroom, he is not being penalized in anyway and is indeed a general education student. ICT rooms are just like any other classroom with the exception of there being a special education teacher there to help instruct all students. If you are unhappy with your child's teachers, I would imagine simply requesting another teacher should solve the problem. If you find resistance from the school, contacting a local parent advocacy group should help.Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480917815609331244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394715790416688043.post-88618674013898736802013-09-16T13:47:38.033-04:002013-09-16T13:47:38.033-04:00My child is not a special needs student, however h...My child is not a special needs student, however he has been placed in an ICT class, My child exceeded expectations on last years report card.

Thank you so ...Lovelovelove integrated co-teaching. Thank you so much for the resource and information. I've been eager to learn more about inclusiveness in special education practices and in particular, the school psychologist's role in it. I really think it's important from a social justice perspective to move special education in this direction. Great post, as usual, Aimee!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02760305977403804864noreply@blogger.com
