SST’s are not a GATEWAY to SPED • We need to get out of the idea that when a student is struggling they should be tested for SPED. • Many SPED students are being moved from SPED only classes and mainstreamed into GEN ED classes. • Perception that SPED will solve everything for a struggling student.
