THE EFFECTS OF TEACHER LICENSURE ON TEACHERS’ PEDAGOGICAL COMPETENCE: IMPLICATIONS FOR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY TEACHERS OF STUDENTS WITH LEARNING AND BEHAVIORAL DISABILITIES

Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive review of research literature on teacher licensure and teacher competence. Since little research is available on teachers of students with learning and behavioral disabilities, a review of the general education literature is undertaken to provide implications for research in special education. Finally, a review of a recent study of special education teachers is provided. Implications are drawn for both elementary and secondary teachers of students with learning and behavioral disabilities.
