A Special Ed Teacher Shortage Is Getting Worse — But One Fix Is Catching On
14 min•22 april 2022
For years, most states have reported a shortage of special education teachers. Now, according to federal data, nearly every state is struggling to hire qualified educators. And when schools can't find a licensed teacher, they hire people who are willing to do the job, but lack the training.
From member station WFYI in Indianapolis, Lee Gaines reports on what that means for students, and Dylan Peers McCoy reports on one approach — in Hawaii — that's helped to fill shortages.
In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
