Hello! so my roommate is a SPED teacher. The school changed how SPED works to be identical to standard education at the expense of the 6th 7th and 8th graders that have mental disabilities. because of office politics and “Test Scores”, all SPED teachers got assigned a subject based on “who would make the best test scores” and she (suspiciously) got the short end of the stick. she also got assigned a repurposed office room no larger than small bedroom with no windows.
what can she do to possibly deal with or go around the internal politics? if not, how could she change the room itself to make it at least tolerable?
Edit: for all that need to know for the legal side of thimgs, we are currently in Ohio.
I’m amazed that it is apparently legal (is it, where you live?). Have the parents or caretakers been informed? They probably have an opinion on this, and may be your best bet (but tread carefully, management may not like it).
Seriously, this has to violate fire codes if nothing else. There’s only one point of egress, from the sound of it.
Classrooms don’t have to have windows.
