Special education is one of the most challenging and demanding—while simultaneously deeply rewarding—jobs in the world. Most special education teachers choose to help children and young people out of a desire to assist those who are less fortunate succeed.

Knowing the shortage of special education teachers and the high burnout rate, it is vital for our country that we train teachers with the knowledge and skills they need to excel. The demand is real. According to the Individuals with Disabilities Act Data Accountability Center, nearly 11 percent of the K-12 population in the U.S. is receiving special education services.

"Unfortunately, special education has a high turnover rate, largely because of the amount of paperwork teachers have to deal with," Nick Plato, Managing Editor of Best Education Degrees, said. "On the plus side, if you're cut out for the role and you're qualified, it shouldn't be hard to land a position."

Best Education Degrees employs a robust ranking methodology based on a wide variety of reputed and reliable statistics. Three general criteria are used: a school's reputation score, calculated using selected categories of statistics from publicly available sources such as U.S. News & World Report, the National Center for Education Statistics, and college websites; an affordability rating using net price calculators and an average early-career salary (from payscale.com); and specific program ratings from the National Council for Teacher Quality 2016 ranking.
