The high attrition and turnover rates of qualified special education teachers (SETs) is a significant concern exacerbated by COVID-19. Unfortunately, there are limited studies available on research-based interventions to decrease burnout. The purpose of this study was to describe our processes and results for adaptations and modifications of…

Introduction: This paper contributes to the research on teacher burnout by distinguishing between two aspects of work demands that are usually merged in the "workload" construct: the quantity of the demands (quantitative demands) and the cognitive effort they require (cognitive demands).

General educators were most commonly trained to implement behavior-specific praise (n = 12),…

The most effective way to improve the performance of students is to improve the practice of their teachers (McLeskey & Brownell, 2015). Teachers must provide highly effective, research-based instruction responsive to the unique needs of students with disabilities for quality outcomes to occur. High-Leverage Practices (HLPs) were developed by…

From 1991-2019 at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), 202 different faculty individuals, from each of the five UAMS colleges, volunteered to offer 120 different workshops in health science content to 22,731 PreK-12 teachers and some school nurses in the Partners in Health Science (PIHS) program. Participants consumed 83,488…

In addition to content knowledge, it is necessary to teach learning skills. Using relevant learning skills assures better learning outcomes and abilities for the whole life course.
