We offer a continuum of special education services at P.S. 29. We have many students in general education classrooms that receive services either from a SETSS  teacher in a push-in or pull out model or from related service providers.  We also have one Grades 3 and 4 self-contained classroom (12:1:1) this year and, a CTT (Collaborative Team Teaching) class on each grade beginning in Kindergarten.

Special Education Teacher Support Services (SETTS):  A type of assistance given to students with special needs; until recently known as a resource room. SETSS teachers work with students for short periods during the day either in their classrooms or in “pull-out” sessions in another room. Children generally receive these services to augment their general education classes.

Collaborative Team Teaching:  Teaching method used in classes where children with special needs (40%) and children who do not have special needs (60%) learn alongside each other. Two teachers – one of them trained in special education instruction – work as a team in the classroom.
