The use of co-teaching inclusion — a strategy expanded in the South Orange-Maplewood School District three years years ago that pairs two teachers in one classroom shared by general and special education students — is not being reduced or abandoned, say district staff.
Some parents are not quite convinced.
At a special meeting on April 16 at the district offices, Dr. Pat Barker, Director of Special Services for the South Orange-Maplewood School District, addressed concerns about the continuation of the two-teacher inclusion model and a new focus on pull-out reading support for children in kindergarten through second grade (Dr. Barker said that grades 3-5 were not being affected).
