In Indiana: More Students Have Access to a High-Quality Special Education Teacher Following Investment in Educator Pipeline
The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) recently provided an update on the state’s special education teacher pipeline and the targeted solutions that are showing a positive return on investment, connecting schools with high-quality special education teacher candidates and maximizing learning for students.
“When we looked at our state data, we knew that we had a challenge when it came to recruiting special education teachers,” said Katie Jenner, Ed.D., Indiana Secretary of Education. “Rather than admiring the problem, we brought together educators and key partners to help us find solutions. In just a few years, our data now shows that our investments are working, placing many more special education teachers in Indiana classrooms.”
