Special Ed teachers spend more time collecting data, assessing students and writing IEPs and attending daily morning meetings that takes away more time from lesson planning and implementing curriculum and instruction in their classroom. Where does that leave any time to cater to the child's individual "unique" needs? Besides, Common Core needs to go away.

Assessments are crucial for making instructional decisions about students, especially students with unique learning needs. A large part of the assessment process is examining data. This entire process allows teachers to make better instructional and curricular decisions about students.

I wish I knew about all this when my son was in school, because he never received any of these services and because of this he is struggling with keeping a job, keeping friends and is severely depressed now.

It sounds like a teacher is needed for each student.

I hope to be able to construct several ieps as a developmental delay specialist.
