WHAT IS THE COLLABORATIVE TEAM TEACHING CLASS (CTT)?
Each grade at PS41 has one CTT class. The CTT class has one general education teacher and one special education teacher. In the CTT classes, the ratio is approximately 60% general education students and 40% special education students. The same curriculum is provided as the other classes, with the added benefit of a higher staffing ratio and a great deal of support. The Committee for Special Education (CSE) places the children who are on the special educationside of the CTT classes. The school administration places the children on the general education side. Children on the general education side are “model” students—they must model excellent behavioral and learning habits.
