Insights into ICT: What to Expect in the Classroom

Details: Category: Advice - Childcare and Education

According to the NYC DOE, classrooms with Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) services include students with IEPs and students without IEPs. No more than 12 (or 40 percent) of the students in the class can have IEPs.

If your child has been placed in an ICT class, read on for insights from members on what to expect. And to find support in all aspects of the parenting and schooling journey, join Park Slope Parents today!
