mmerci02 — 2024-03-20 02:31:21 UTC

"Many are deterred by reports of unfavorable working conditions and what they feel is a lack of public respect toward the profession."

"Of the more than 900 respondents, 50 people said they were already planning to become a teacher, and 490 said they would not consider teaching. The rest were somewhere in the middle—27 said they were strongly considering going into teaching, but it wasn’t their first choice, and 376 said they weren’t planning on becoming a teacher, but they would consider it."

Why Special Education Teachers Leave the Profession

mmerci02 — 2024-03-25 05:54:59 UTC

Findings

1. Special education teachers want effective mentorship and continued professional

development throughout their careers.

2. Increasingly heavy workloads result in lack of time to fulfill duties and responsibilities

and deteriorating mental health for special education teachers.

3. School administrators do not have a comprehensive understanding of special

education teachers’ responsibilities and duties.

4. Educator preparation programs do not adequately prepare special education

teachers for non-instructional parts of their job such as writing Individual Education

Plans (IEPs) and successful collaboration.
