Since the passage of NCLB, special education teachers are held to the same requirement of being a highly-qualified teacher in one of the core academic subject areas, as are general education teachers. Most local districts are looking for a special education teacher that is either certified in elementary education AND special education or can pass the elementary academic content test in their state AND is certified in special education. If you are looking for a special education teacher position as a 'co-teacher' in a general education classroom, you would only need certification in special education.
