Which standards govern evaluating applicants and addressing workplace concerns without discrimination?

• A. Standards for credentials and employment for Special education professionals
• B. Professional development
• C. National Association of Special Education Teachers aka NASET
• D. Pervasive development disorder and bipolar disorder

Answer: (A)

Standards that govern who can work in special education and how they are evaluated, while addressing employment concerns without discrimination, set the rules for credentialing, hiring practices, and fair treatment in the workplace. That makes the standards for credentials and employment for special education professionals the best fit, because they define the qualifications needed to apply and how applicants are assessed, all within an ethical framework that prohibits discrimination.

Professional development focuses on ongoing growth and training, not on who can be hired or how workplace fairness is handled. NASET is a professional organization that may provide guidelines or resources, but the specific standards that govern evaluating applicants and addressing workplace concerns are the credentialing and employment standards. The other options refer to conditions or unrelated concepts rather than the standards themselves.
