I just started my alt cert program this month and was told by the principal that eventually they will have to let go of all uncertified teachers or get waivers, it’s being done in phases. What do you think the future of DIO is with the new laws going into effect?
I recently accepted a position as a para in a life skills classroom. The classroom I am working in has thirteen kids, three if whom are non verbal with severe behavioral issues. In the month i have been there the kids do NOTHING other than eat and use their ipads. The teacher gives them the same exact work sheet every day and they work on the same puzzles everyday. After that they get their ipad and thats it. Is this normal? Anytime i ask the teacher if i can work on something with some of the higher kids she shuts me down immediately, I feel like we have to tip toe around her. I really feel like i should ask for a transfer to a different campus..
