چکیده (انگلیسی):

The issues regarding teacher shortages and retention have been a concern for many years within
the special education field. School districts have struggled at not only maintaining quality
teachers to fill positions for special education programs, but also to retain these quality teachers
in their districts. As an additional challenge, many communities have members that are place
bound. These individuals do not wish to leave their families to move to another location to receive
university training. Specific strategies used in training models from a variety of projects will be
discussed.
