Show moreIn this autoethnography, I utilized a handful of different techniques to recall, examine, and share my experiences while entering, being in, and leaving the field of music therapy. Those included: chronological listing, narrative journaling, songwriting, lyric analysis, and external collaborators. Examining the autoethnography revealed specific themes about my experience with music therapy, including the role of my identity and privilege, systemic pressures, resistance to systemic pressures, non-profit specific ethics, and community support. Sharing these specific experiences and themes aims to add to a growing literature of music therapy burnout, including why music therapists leave the field, what specific experiences feel like, and where music therapists go after leaving the field.

Show morePennsylvania public-school principals are expected to be instructional leaders for all students within their district. When it comes to leadership for students with disabilities, this role can be problematic due to a lack of experience in the field of special education and pre-service special education training. Special education leadership should be a significant concern for school administrators as their roles have increased to ensuring successful outcomes for all students, the increased number of students placed in special education, the high cost associated with educating students in special education, and the due process ramifications if educational outcomes are not achieved. The research has demonstrated that overall, public-school principals receive little to no formal training in leading special education in pre-service or on-going professional development. The purpose of this research study was twofold. The research is helpful to colleges and universities when developing plans of study and programming for future public-school principal and leadership training degrees and certificates. This research also provides a platform where current Pennsylvania public-school principals can identify where their special education knowledge is lacking and how to become a better instructional leader for their own district’s special education population. This study provided insight into understanding the factors that contribute to the lack of special education training in special education programs by higher education entities.

Show moreChildhood trauma impacts approximately half of school-aged youth in the United States, with many students experiencing one or more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) that contribute to complex mental health, social, and educational challenges by the time they are seniors in high school. Childhood trauma is particularly impacting students receiving special education services, as trauma-related factors often cause learning disabilities, behavioral difficulties, and social challenges in the school setting. This qualitative case study examined the perspectives of special education teachers regarding the effects of childhood trauma, their roles in implementing trauma-informed practices, and the professional development opportunities they have participated in within a K-12 public school district in central Pennsylvania. Using semi-structured interviews, key themes emerged concerning the challenges teachers face in providing trauma-informed practices. Findings suggest that teachers view trauma as a critical factor affecting students’ academic performance and social-emotional regulation, requiring a coordinated, school-wide approach to trauma-informed care. The study concludes with recommendations for school districts to adopt ongoing, culturally responsive professional development and foster partnerships within the community organizations to enhance support systems for special education students impacted by childhood trauma. These findings highlight the importance of implementing strategic enhancements in professional development, specifically designed to provide special education teachers with the essential tools to effectively support the diverse needs of special education students affected by childhood trauma.
