District Administrative Support as Perceived by Experienced Special Education Teachers during and after a Global Pandemic
Heidi Bellingrodt Newcomb
ProQuest LLC, D.Ed. Dissertation, Tarleton State University
The last four years in special education have been challenging. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic and what it did to special education teachers during the school closures, returning to campus, and in recent years has led to many of them leaving or retiring early. Burnout is often cited as one of the main reasons these teachers leave. Texas school districts have attempted to slow this exodus by implementing some administrative support. This qualitative study looks at one large urban district in North Texas, how five experienced special education teachers perceived their symptoms of burnout, and how the administrative support provided them during the initial school closures when they returned to campus and the following years.
