I teach in GA and we are phasing out resource rooms and departmentalized special ed (content area classes taught by SPED teacher to all SPED kids w/ a parapro). My district claims that we are mandated to have 80 something % of SPED students in general ed classes. So they have created tons of inclusion classes and put everyone except in these classes except for severally disabled students. This is insane. I have taught inclusion classes before in NY and it was wonderful. THis is because we placed students there who would be successful in that environment. For example, in GA, I have a ninth grade student with an IQ of 55, who is a non-reader in an inclusion geography class. She is expected to do everything everyone else does...I can't take her out of the room to test (supposedly this is illegal in GA).I could go on and on about this. My question is do schools in OH still have resource rooms or departmentalized SPED? Sorry about the rambling, but I'm frustrated down here.
