First-Year Special Educators

Abstract: Despite a history of research in general education on novice teachers, researchers have only recently begun to investigate the experiences of beginning special educators. Many of these studies describe problems encountered, noting the high attrition rate among beginning special education teachers and emphasizing the importance of keeping qualified special educators in the field. The findings of this survey of first-year special education teachers (N = 596) extend the literature by revealing the influence of cl… Show more

“…Examining the reading instructional practices of secondary special educators certified to teach students with low-incidence disabilities is another area in need of further investigation. There are also other factors in need of examination such as a wider selection of school climate variables, teachers’ specific beliefs about reading instruction, and the pathways through which teachers enter the classroom (i.e., alternative or traditional), as these factors have been shown to be influential on special education teacher quality and practice (Billingsley, 2004; Griffin et al, 2009; Ruppar et al, 2015).…”

“…In doing so, multiple research teams have engaged in critical first steps by conducting exploratory qualitative and descriptive studies to distill salient influences on teachers’ practice. What has resulted from research in this area is a hypothesized framework consisting of two primary factors: individual (e.g., teachers’ experience, beliefs, self-efficacy, motivation, and knowledge) and contextual (e.g., time, school climate, resources, and administrative leadership) (Griffin et al, 2009; Ruppar, Gaffney, & Dymond, 2015; Vaughn et al, 2000). Closely related to teacher knowledge is a third factor, preparation , that has ties to both individual and contextual factors.…”

“…Ces études ne permettent donc pas d'avoir un portrait actuel et spécifique des besoins de soutien des enseignants débutants en adaptation scolaire. Toutefois, aux États-Unis, quelques recherches montrent que les besoins de soutien des enseignants des classes spéciales sont multiples et que le support de la direction ainsi que celui des collègues peut s'avérer bénéfique (Billingsley, Carlson et Klein, 2004;Griffin et al, 2009;Whitaker, 2001;Youngs, Jones et Low, 2011). Selon ces auteurs, les enseignants des classes spéciales font face à des défis liés à la gestion des comportements et des déficits académiques graves, au manque de matériel, au sentiment d'isolement au sein de l' école et au manque de soutien de la part de la direction.…”

“…S'ajoute à cela le manque de matériel évoqué par les enseignantes interviewées et qui apparaît, encore une fois, attribuable à l' éventail quasi illimité de contextes de travail possibles. Plusieurs auteurs ont d'ailleurs rapporté que les enseignants des classes spéciales, aux États-Unis, ont rarement accès à du matériel adapté aux difficultés des élèves et cela vient alourdir davantage leur charge de travail (Billingsley et al, 2004;Griffin et al, 2009;Whitaker, 2003). Rappelons à cet égard que les enseignantes interviewées dans notre étude ne se sentaient pas toujours à la hauteur de certaines tâches et de certains types de handicaps pour lesquels la formation les a peu ou pas préparées.…”
