[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is there such a shortage of Sped teachers?[/quote] 1. Low pay 2. Challenging, sometimes physically and/or emotionally exhausting work 3. Threat of lawsuits (which is why people join the union in the first place) 4. Paperwork/meeting burnout. There is no extra payment for being a sped teacher vs. gened, despite having to do tons of documentation, meetings, coordination, etc. I know two former sped teachers who went into private practice doing ABA therapy, 2 others who started leaving sped credentials off resumes to get gen ed jobs, and MANY who just quit altogether to stay home with their own kids or pursue an entirely different career path. It is truly a labor of love if you pursue it.[/quote]
