The Critical Shortage of Special Education Teachers – And How We're Part of the Solution

The need for qualified special education teachers is at an all-time high. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly 7.3 million students in the United States require special education services, a number that has steadily increased over the years..

Despite this growing demand, schools across the country face a critical shortage of special education teachers, making it challenging to provide the individualized attention and support students need to thrive.

As the number of students requiring special education services continues to rise, the demand for trained professionals has outpaced supply. Many states report difficulties in hiring and retaining special education teachers, leading to higher workloads for existing staff and, in some cases, students not receiving the full support they need.

This shortage has created a dynamic job market where special education teachers, paraprofessionals, and support staff are in high demand, making specialized staffing solutions more necessary than ever.

Our goal is to be a reliable solution to this shortage by connecting professionals with both local and travel education opportunities that align with their career aspirations and personal needs.

One of our local districts struggled to find a qualified special education teacher, receiving no applicants despite extensive efforts.
