Special education staff at the junior/senior high school level is not a supportive group for the students with special needs who are in their care. The SPED staff can be often petty, unprofessional, and will sometimes gossip about the students' personal lives and the personal affairs of the teaching assistant staff, or staff in general. Student teachers and beginning teachers in the department are often treated poorly, made to feel inferior and ignorant. It is often a culture of bullying among members of the SPED staff that has gone unnoticed by administration. The behavior among this SPED staff is often mean, plain and simple. In general, the SPED teachers are not professional when they engage in screaming matches with their students. The veteran SPED teachers are dismissive of students with special needs and see them as lazy and not students who need help. There is a petty nature to the members of the SPED staff leadership. The SPED leadership engages in subversive, revenge behavior to get other teachers into trouble, pretending to be supportive and then using privileged information to share with admins or other department members. It is a traumatizing experience for a student teacher or assistive teacher to be in, unprofessional in every sense of the word. The SPED department leadership engages in aggressive verbal behavior, bordering on and exceeding abuse towards student and adults alike. Very emotionally damaging and traumatizing. This leadership and the department staff need to be more scrutinized and evaluated.
