Career
The number of students requiring special education services has grown steadily in recent years due to improvements that have allowed learning disabilities to be diagnosed at earlier ages. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook, career opportunities for special education teachers is expected to increase and many districts report problems finding adequate numbers of certified special education teachers.
Special education teachers at the elementary and pre-school level have the best outlook, with middle school special education teachers are not far behind. An expected growth for secondary school special education teachers is also projected. Many openings will likely derive from turnover and retirements, as well as growth of the school-age population.
