More than seven million students in the U.S. reply on special education or related services, but nationally, there aren’t enough teachers trained in this area. According to the Department of Education, 45% of public schools have vacancies in these positions, and 78% of schools report difficulty hiring special education staff. To address this long-running problem, the state of Indiana launched a program aimed at making it easier for teachers to become licensed in special ed. Correspondent Dan Lieberman traveled to the state to see how the program works and whether it’s filling the gap.
