Across the board, special education teachers are approximately 2.5 times more likely to leave the profession than their general education counterparts. However, persistent overextension (mainly driven by a strong desire to support colleagues and students) can lead to burnout and emotional exhaustion, a condition often referred to as compassion fatigue. Certified staffing buffers aren’t just about increasing headcount. They’re about ensuring quality, sustainability, and support.
