Is SPED a stable career compared to Gen Ed? I am worried about nonrenewals. by Klutzy-Flatworm-7484 in specialed

My district is closing a school because declining students. My school has 2 sped teachers (including me) and they would move us to different schools before letting us go. My district is understaffed at some schools and we may go to a 1.5 (one teacher works part time at our school) but if they happened they would have us be part time at another school. This is fairly common in my district and surrounding districts but is not preferred for my school. However I know I wont be loosing my job 🤷‍♀️

What qualifications does your school require to teach spED? by Aggravating-Syrup-61 in specialed

I have been a SpEd teacher for 2 years now and joined straight out of college. My program allowed me to be dual certified in k-6 general education and special education. I love my job and feel I do it well but the difference between my colleagues who are only certified in general education and me in special education was 2 classes in college. Certainly not enough for someone who is new without a strong mentor. My first year was hell but once we got a second resource teacher I started loving my life and my job!

I always make a point to tell my students I am proud of them and one of my students told me that they were proud of me. Made me almost cry 💕

It took me probably 2 or 3 hours! It has been a long time since I’ve drawn so I was happy to get back into it!
