The Effects of Special Education Category and Type of Training on Job Burnout in Special Education Teachers.

Banks, Steven R.; Necco, Edward G.

Teacher Education and Special Education, v13 n3-4 p187-91 Sum-Fall 1990

This study of 181 special education teachers found that job burnout levels were related to special education category, training background, and teachers' age. The typical special educator "at risk" is a younger teacher with undergraduate training who teaches in a resource room or classroom for students with behavior disorders. (Author/JDD)
