ABSTRACT

The new edition of this landmark text expands our current understanding of teacher education broadly by providing an in-depth look at the most up-to-date research on special education teacher preparation. Offering a comprehensive review of research on attracting, preparing, and sustaining personnel to effectively serve students with disabilities, it is fully updated to align with current knowledge and future perspectives on special educator development, synthesizing what we can do to continue advancing as a field. The Handbook of Research on Special Education Teacher Preparation is a great resource not only to special education faculty and the doctoral students they prepare, but also to scholars outside of special education who address questions related to special education teacher supply, demand, and attrition.
