Updated literature review on special education teachers' occupational wellbeing and burnout is published online! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/... @lizbettini.bsky.social @michellecumming.bsky.social Excited to see the nascent intervention work prior research has catalyzed!
Figure titled "conceptualization of factors with strong empirical support for special educator wellbeing and burnout, 1979 to present. Figure includes working conditions (specifically, administrator support, planning time, and instructional grouping) predicting special education teachers' workload manageability, which in turn predicts stress, which in turn predicts burnout. This chain of special education teachers' workload-stress-burnout is moderated by their identity, characteristics, and experience as well as their affective responses to work stress. Teacher wellbeing/burnout, in turn, is associated with teacher outcomes, including teaching self-efficacy, evidence-based practice use, intervention fidelity, and intent to leave. All of these, in turn, predict student outcomes.

Join Council for Exceptional Children through March 31 for free! Many divisions may have free or discounted membership, too. For researchers and graduate students, consider joining CEC's Division for Research (see cecdr.org for all we do). Over 140 people joined the Division for Research yesterday!

As a faculty member, I think I knew from afar what good people IES had. But over the past two years, I have gotten to work alongside so many of those who were just let go. I have learned so much from these friends and colleagues, and I am just dumbstruck at the scale of this loss for our country.

This looks like important new evidence on how economic conditions impact the quality of teachers (a really challenging issue to study):

I love it, Eric. You gotta share your secrets for it at CEC. There are only a few plants I manage to keep alive if they're not in the garden
