The authors consider the problem of special education teacher burnout and suggest administrative approaches to dealing with the problem. Personnel management strategies, such as specifying the role and student load for special educators, providing a complete job description to new staff, and providing support for staff (especially during the first year of adjustment) are suggested. Among organizational management options listed are developing efficient procedures; providing time, money, and staff involvement in policy modification and revision; and developing a comprehensive personnel development program.
