I am a certified teacher and I would like to become a special education teacher working with students who are in self-contained classrooms. I have an EC-12 SPED certification. Are there other special education certifications I can get or other steps I can take to make myself more marketable as a self-contained special education teacher?

A Masters would be helpful but may not be necessary if you can get your foot in the door somewhere and just start logging successful SPED experience. What else are you certified in and have you taught it before?

Mostly in the sped classroom, but also some general ed English. Last year, I began inclusion in the English classrooms. It went ok, except for a new teacher who started her first year in December. She has NO classroom management. She has NO routines, NO clear expectations. I just learned I will be spending half of my day with her this next year. I ...See More

Been there. Try and meet with her prior to the school year at a planned and low key time and place.

Thanks.

It varies wildly by school, state, etc. I've gotten IEP's from other teachers where the PLOP was one sentence long and others that were a full typed page.
I usually try for at least a paragraph (or two/three) depending on how involved the student is, the area the PLOP is for etc.

There really isn't any particular length a PLOP should be. Just be sure to describe any gains the student obtained and then get into the stuff they will need to work on the next school year.
I am obtaining my MEd in Curriculum and Instruction: ABA, but realized that my area has no opportunity for supervision to become a BCBA. Also, I would prefer teacher over doing BCBA work. If I enroll in a credential program, do you guys think I can transfer credits from my current program to the credential program?
haha
Really difficult to say from the outside looking in. I would start with your advisor or someone from your current school who could advise you on their specific programs and requirements. Barring that, try contacting some representatives from schools with programs that you would like to complete and see what they say.

In many states/locations, those jobs are often open and hard to fill/keep people in so I would think someone would give you a chance. Have you looked/applied for self-contained SPED jobs? Many of those students would al...See More
