Shavua tov,
My main issue is the time factor. We aren't giving the final stamp on
spelling and hakraa but we are supposed to sit with the students and fill
out forms - all time consuming, time that doesn't exist. Here is the
Question and Answer (#6) from the letter:
" I am not trained to evaluate my students. There are professionals who
get paid to do it. Why do I have to fill in the long and complicated forms?
The forms that you are asked to fill out are asking YOU as a TEACHER, how
your student functions in the classroom and with the required material. The
LD evaluation that your student has, identifies whether or not there is a
learning disability that impedes learning or interferes with normative
acquisition of basic skills of reading, writing, oral and written
expression etc. The professional evaluatorÂ’s job is to identify the
source of the difficulty that we see as teachers.
In addition, the time that you spend listening to your student read, and
carefully evaluating his or her written work is priceless! It helps you to
know your student better.
If you are unclear or unsure about anything having to do with completing
the forms you may ask your LD coordinator or schoolÂ’s guidance counselor..."
