“Today’s episode explores the persistent shortage of special education teachers in the United States, arguing that low pay and inadequate financial support are key contributing factors. Dr. Jaime Hoerricks criticises narratives that focus on teacher burnout and administrative burdens without addressing the underlying economic challenges. They advocate for systemic change, including increasing salaries, protecting financial aid programs, and ensuring equitable funding for public education. Dr. Hoerricks emphasises the importance of prioritising financial stability for special education teachers to attract and retain qualified professionals and ultimately improve educational outcomes for students with diverse needs.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/the-unseen-cost-of-special-educationLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
