And so I can't help but emit some combination of a chuckle and a groan at the reaction to the SUNY Board of Trustees Charter Schools Committee's decision yesterday to permit charter schools to
hire teachers without the standard year of coursework and promise to complete a Master's degree but, instead, have 160 hours of instruction in
behavior management, lesson planning and other skills; have 40 hours of supervised experience in the field; and pass one exam designed to test
strategies for teaching students with special needs and English learners.
If either dog has a history of difficulty getting along with other dogs, the best
strategy would be to
hire a certified professional
behavior consultant to help you gradually introduce the two dogs to each other.
