Help! I am the only special ed teacher at the high school level at a fairly small 6-12 grade school. Being small, you would think that everything in special ed would be better. I was very wrong with that assumption. My struggle is that i have 12 students during one block for resource, in grades from 9-12, with three different core classes that they need assistance in, usually one on one. I literally cannot help all 12 students at once. I try my best, but at the end of the day I feel like someone is neglected.

candi Unfortunately, we are a small charter school and we have never had a TA before. I can request one, but I am not sure how that will go. We constantly hear about budget issues.

I can request one, but I am not sure how that will go. We constantly hear about budget issues. We also were pushing for a 4th sped teacher for this year, which would have lessened the situaion currently. Most of the students already do have inclusion services for english and some for math. And there is only so much you can do during that time, they need the extra time to go over things AGAIN. However, I cannot reteach 4 different lessons in a 90 minute block and hope they get it. Not to mention, they always come constantly with homework they need help with, tests or quizzes they need their extended time for, etc.
