My thoughts on special education coordinator job

It has come to my attention some of the special education coordinators are not happy with the new year round contracts. I want to let you know my thoughts behind it. When I was asked in the early spring of 2007 my thoughts on the year round contract, I felt what they were asking was no different than what I had already been doing. I went to my school in the summer for meetings if the principal asked. I was not getting paid for it; I just went. So the year round contract did not make any difference for me.

Some think the coordinators in high school have more work to do than coordinators at other levels. Well, I think the work is different, but not more. Doing lesson plans, teaching, along with coordinating duties are all very time consuming, as are FAPT, CPMT paperwork, and meetings. So looking at both , the jobs seem pretty equal to me.
