Section four of the survey, specifically asked respondents to rate the factors that influenced their decision to accept a job offer. These factors related to financial issues, personal issues, working conditions, and support. In the following summary the results are broken down by level of experience and whether the respondent was from Oregon or out of state. The results are broken down further by urban-suburban positions, small city positions and rural/isolated positions.
The August strategy briefing will discuss the results related to administrative support. We will discuss additional factors in the coming months.
The single most important factor identified by this survey was the sense of administrative support these individuals could expect once employed.
Both beginning and experienced special educators know how important administrative support is to their work experience. Lack of administrative support was also cited as the most important factor in leaving a previous job. Being clear to job applicants the kinds and level of administrative support they can expect is an important selling point to special educators making a decision to accept a job offer.
