Introducing your Personal Trainer for mastering the critical skills and mental strength you need to be effective in your demanding job. Perfect for veterans and novices alike, it’s written just for you by a fellow special ed administrator who’s seen and survived it all during 30 years in public schools.
Advice, strategies and supporting documents help you fine-tune your skills in administrative and instructional leadership, relationships with staff and parents, money management, and more. You’ll boost staff productivity, create a more cooperative school climate and improve student outcomes, with proven approaches to:
- Balance legal requirements with the realities of your job
- Interview, train, evaluate and retain competent staff
- Handle compliance and due process complaints
- Manage the accountability requirements of NCLB and IDEA
- And more!
Bonus resources in each chapter help you execute what you’ve learned — including 12 supporting letters and documents on IEPs alone! And Effective Administrator Pointers highlight helpful hints for resolving difficult situations.
