Special Education Teachers
r/specialeducation
I’m in my third year teaching autistic support. I’m really struggling. My district lacks any kinds of supports or proper trainings for teachers. I feel like I can’t keep my head above water. I have a rather challenging class, but that is truly the least of my issues. I have three very difficult teacher assistants who question everything I do and how I do it, I feel like I can’t win with them. In addition, all of my ieps/revevals fall in the same month and the paper work feels so immense. I feel like I am on the verge of a mental breakdown. I’ve tried bringing my struggles to the director special ed, but she has the “I made it work so you can too” mentality. Sue also feels that everyone should just know how to do everything with out any training, or support. I vented to one of the he other floor teachers about how I was feeling and she spread it back to the director of spec Ed. Now my relationship with her is screwed.
I’m the type of person who gets a long with everyone in life, but I just can’t seem to fit in at my own school. I feel like there’s no one I can trust or depend on. I want to resign right now, but I know they won’t find someone to replace me until the fall and I don’t want to do that to the students. What can I do? Any advice on how I can make it until June?
Good day, everyone! We are students from Laguna Polytechnic State University, Los Baños Campus, pursuing Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and we would like to conduct a survey for our thesis project, "AUTIXITHYMIA: A MOBILE APPLICATION FOR FACIAL EXPRESSION CLASSIFICATION AND EMOTION RECOMMENDATION FOR PEOPLE WITH AUTISM AND ALEXITHYMIA." Autixithymia is a mobile application derived from the words autism and alexithymia. This application can recognize human faces and expressions that suggest emotions behind the expression. The primary purpose of this project is to reach people with autism and alexithymia, to innovate existing facial expression recognition technology to recommend different emotions, and to make them more accessible through the use of a smartphone.
We'd like to hear your ideas and comments about our thesis project. We prioritize your satisfaction. By taking our survey, you will help us improve our project and provide you with a better experience. This 10-question survey will only take about ten minutes to complete, and the information you provide will only be used internally to better our project.
