Abstract

This article is in direct response to Garwood’s call to action about burnout and the special education teacher workforce. While Garwood’s call to action is critically needed, we contend that the call is incomplete as it lacks emphasis on factors linking sociocultural identity and burnout. Therefore, in this article, we discuss the significance of elevating sociocultural identity, specifically race and ethnicity, into research about special education teacher burnout. We argue that any research on special education teacher burnout that does not include race and ethnicity is overlooking the racialization of special education teachers’ working conditions, and ultimately is incapable of addressing one of the most pressing issues in the special education field—retaining teachers of color. Recommendations for researchers to address sociocultural identities (i.e., race and ethnicity) in their research, specifically about special education teachers of color teaching students with emotional and behavioral disorders, are addressed.

特殊教育教师的有色人种职业倦怠、工作条件与EBD研究建议

这篇文章是对加伍德关于职业倦怠和特殊教育教师队伍的呼吁的直接回应。虽然加伍德的行动呼吁是迫切需要的，但我们认为这一呼吁是不完整的，因为它缺乏对社会文化认同和倦怠之间联系因素的强调。因此，在本文中，我们探讨提升社会文化认同，特别是种族和民族认同在特殊教育教师职业倦怠研究中的意义。我们认为，任何关于特殊教育教师职业倦怠的研究，如果不考虑种族和民族因素，就会忽视特殊教育教师工作条件的种族化，最终无法解决特殊教育领域最紧迫的问题之一——保留有色人种教师。建议研究人员在他们的研究中解决社会文化认同(即种族和民族)问题，特别是关于有色人种特殊教育教师教有情感和行为障碍的学生。
