Juvenile corrections educators: Their knowledge and understanding of special education
Abstract
This article describes a research study of Oregon juvenile corrections educators. The study examined the understanding the educators had of their role in the special education process and how that understanding influenced their instruction for students with disabilities.
The research involved interviews with respondents representing the Youth Corrections Education Programs in Oregon. The data revealed five leading issues for regular education teachers in the juvenile corrections education programs. The issues that emerged were accommodations for students with disabilities, responsibilities for the delivery of special education, special education eligibility, student medications, and transition services. The educators believed the special education personnel and administrators were primarily responsible for the education of students with disabilities.

Shortage of Teachers Impacts High School Rankings

Teachers need to have a bachelor’s degree and must demonstrate their proficiency through completion of an academic major. Finding such teachers is proving to be easier said than done. Qualified teachers are hard to find and this shortage has inevitable repercussions on high school rankings for those institutions that fail to attract and retain top quality teachers.
