I am currently on my 8th year of teaching and thinking about adding another Certification to my certificate. Any advice on the essay or questions for the OSAT for US History/OKlahoma History/Government and Economics? Thanks :)

The English teacher noticed that this wasn't the style or quality of the student's normal writing.
The assistant's comment to me "Well, what am I supposed to do? These students just are so lost and I am supposed to be helping them write a paper. How else are they going to pass their classes and graduate?"
These are high school special ed. students and they are having their papers written for them!

I am searching for some new ideas for the next school year. I have a time during the mornings each day where we work on IEP goals individually and take data when necessary. This year I have more students than I have ever had so I am having a difficult time arranging this for some reason. We have 8 kiddos with 5 total staff. I may get a new student next week...either way I am able to have up to 10 kiddos with myself and 4 instructional aides. How do you all work on IEP goals individually? Currently, I have two staff work with two kiddos separately, with the remaining 6 kids and 3 staff. I have 2-15 minute rotations twice a day so we can get all 8 kids in. What confuses the kiddos is when the timer goes off, some get to change tables and some don't. All year until now we have had 3-10 minute groups. We were doing IEP goals in small groups with those that had similar goals and that wasn't working. First, it wasn't long enough and second, kids were distracting each other or one would have behavior, causing the other to not be able to focus. We do instruction throughout the day that focuses on IEP goals but always forget to log it. What do you all do?! I don't know why we struggle so much with this! Am I over thinking it? Does anyone only do data on certain days or do you do it everyday? Thank you! =D
