Abstract
The authors investigated the status of uncertified (waivered) teachers working in special education classrooms in the state of New Mexico. A survey was developed to gather information about (a) the cultural diversity of teachers and their students, (b) their educational background, (c) the relationship between teacher ethnicity and multicultural programming in the classroom, and (d) views of these individuals on alternative certification in special education. From the 208 surveys returned, information emerged that created a profile of the uncertified (waivered) teacher. The results suggest that there is a need to focus on training more qualified, licensed professionals in the field of special education.
