Addressing Challenges and Celebrating Dedication in Special Education

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is hosting a virtual listening session to address special education teacher shortages, inviting input from educators, parents, students, and community members. The session, scheduled for December 13, follows a previous briefing where solutions like raising salaries and investing in teacher pipelines were discussed. The commission is also accepting written comments and plans to report findings to the president and Congress by 2025.
