How you evaluate and coach teachers that work with the most complex needs can be a challenge.
District and Campus Administrators are the model of school leadership for best practices in teaching and learning, in all settings. An instructional leader’s ability to coach and evaluate their staff allows for teachers to be more effective at their jobs, directly impacting student achievement.
Although principals do not need to be disability experts, they must have fundamental knowledge and skills that will enable them to lead and support their special education teams. Effective administrators work collaboratively to develop a working knowledge about disabilities and the unique learning and behavioral challenges various conditions present.
