The current shortage of fully certified special education teachers is a problem that the nation is facing. The Commonwealth of Kentucky is one of the states that is seeing increased numbers of vacancies within special education. This article explores how liberal arts educator preparation programs (EPPs) offering dual certification in special education can address this issue by exposing high school students to the education profession through intentional efforts in recruitment. Specifically, the article will highlight a school-university partnership through Educators Rising aimed at improving recruitment, retention, and development within the special education teacher pipeline. The article presents survey results from a year-long recruitment initiative, discusses the study's limitations, and suggests directions for future research.
