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.

In the district I work in, just like others across the United States, special education departments have been dismantled and special education certifications have been debunked.
Because special education certifications no longer carry the same weight as other teaching licenses, said educators no longer have the right to teach their own classes. This has lead to most special education students being taught in regular education classrooms.
