Product Description:

In a purposeful sample of inclusion-oriented schools, we explored relationships between special education personnel absences and demographic, policy, and practice variables to identify potential actions for school leaders that could increase availability of qualified personnel and continuity of instruction. While previous studies have analyzed predictors of teacher absences in general, none examined absences by special educators and special education paraprofessionals. Several key variables were found correlated with special educator absences, but not with special education paraprofessional absences.
