Special Education Administator
The special education administrator plays a key and multi-faceted
role in our education systems. Just some of the responsibilities the
special education administrator fulfills are:
- Determine educational standards and goals for special education
programs.
- Ensure that those programs comply with federal, state, and local
laws.
- Set policies and procedures for special education teachers and staff
who are implementing those programs.
- Motivate teachers and staff.
- Provide parents with regular reports on their child's progress.
- Review and evaluate all programs - pilot programs, long-term
programs, future programs.
- Write grants, prepare budgets.
- Respond to legislative questions and concerns.
- Mediate disputes between parents and schools.
- Attend community meetings when critical special education issues are
discussed.
To help you meet these many responsibilities, CEC has created this
resource. It includes information on compliance and procedural
safeguards, educational leadership, and current issues affecting special
education administration and the field as well as CEC policies and
resources.
