RE: KP's Teacher Tales #25: Differentiating With A Little Help From My Friends
EA's play such an important role in the classroom in terms of both curriculum assistance and behaviour management. They help us plan, organize and deliver our lessons at times as well as provide help to our most needy students. I wrote a post not long ago about how we are losing an EA at our school next year. It is so frustrating to see these valuable resources cut.
I have a really hard time when supports are taken away. One of the worst things is when they say a child is doing well so they don't need something or someone anymore. They are doing well because of the accommodations and support they have. If you take them away abruptly, you're going to undue all the hard work that has been done, by the student and the staff.
I'm sorry that you're losing resources. So, so difficult.
