💫 The More You Know 🌈 Information is important! That’s why we’re going to start sharing with you all where the VEA stands on important issues. See below for where @vea4kids stands on class sizes: The VEA believes that: 🍎 Small class size has a positive impact on student success. 🍎 School divisions should compute and publish class sizes using classroom teachers only, not including resource personnel. 🍎 Maximum teacher-pupil ratios (TPRs) should be set for PK-1st grade at 1:15; 2nd– 3rd grade at 1:17; 4th -12th grade at 1:21; 1:18 for English classes in middle and high school, and no more than 105 students for departmentalized teachers (physical education and performing arts). 🍎 Maximum TPRs should be set at 1:20 in laboratory science (with 45 square feet per student), studio arts, and practical arts classes. 🍎 Weighted formulas should be used to determine teacher-pupil ratios in specialized classes including special education. 💻 Want more information?
