Special Education and the School Based Administrator’s Academy is designed to assist school-based leaders in building their knowledge and skills around special education. The Academy will cover special education law, FAPE, being an LEA for an IEP, supporting families, supporting teachers and other support staff, LRE, scheduling, discipline and a host of other topics. This Academy will lead you through a process of design to sustain success. We will remind you often of a building leader’s two main questions: Are students learning? and Are teachers growing?
This academy will be two one-hour virtual sessions each month beginning in January 2022 and run through June, 2022 with an opportunity to participate in mixed reality simulations in collaboration with the University of West GA and Kennesaw State University.
A leader’s job is to look into the future and see the organization, not as it is, but as it should be. Jack Welch
