Abstract: This report summarizes findings from the third year of a long-term research partnership on the special education teacher pipeline in Pennsylvania and projects associated with the Bureau of Special Education's Attract-Prepare-Retain (APR) efforts. We analyze administrative, survey, and interview data associated with seven APR projects that occurred during the 2024-25 school year: Accelerated Program for PK-12 Special Education Teacher Certification Grant, Developing Future Special Educators Grant, APR Mentoring Project, Networking and Learning Communities, K-2 Learning Institute, American Sign Language programs, and Paraeducator Preparation Pathways Grant. For the first six APR projects, the findings build on data from the 2023-24 school year implementation. And for the Paraeducator Preparation Pathways Grants, which launched in 2024-25, data are providing early evidence about how grantees view their experiences with this project. [Funding was received from contract with PA Training and Technical Assistance Network (PaTTAN) and the Bureau of Special Education at the Pennsylvania Department of Education.]
