Surely this teacher has some certification in the field? My first thought is that this needs to go through the IEP process! The TEAM and case manager should be making decisions and helping provide services. After all, they should have the background to do it. You aren't a secretary for this teacher.

In addition to a much larger class this year, one of my students has a visual impairment that requires her to use Braille to read. I am struggling with how to teach her, as I don't have lessons written that are concrete enough for the VI teacher who comes to our school to help the student for 2 hours daily. (We don't have text books or work books.) This teacher wants detailed lessons, which I cannot provide, as I conference with students individually about their skills and strategies. She has told me that is not good enough, that she needs more concrete lessons. How can I do this? I don't work with the student, and have no idea what kind of skills she needs to read Braille. I also cannot spend hours each day writing plans to teach this teacher. GRRRR I feel like such a whiny baby. Anyone have any ideas?
