Attracting individuals to the field of special education and then retaining them long-term has been a focus across the nation and here at home. In this session, participants will discover the pathways that are underway across Pennsylvania to provide individuals with opportunities for special education personnel preparation, workforce entry, and early career retention. Hear from those who are creating these recruitment pathways, as well as those who are seeking out these opportunities – some before even graduating from high school.
