Program Leadership for Serving Students with Disabilities.
Billingsley, Bonnie S.; And Others
This manual is designed to be a practical guide for designing, implementing, and evaluating instruction and services for students with disabilities. The first section, "Leadership and Collaboration," offers a conceptual framework for program leadership, a program vision and descriptions, strategies for interagency collaboration, and strategies for family collaboration. The second section, "Program Development and Evaluation," provides assistance in seven specific areas fundamental to creating strong instruction and services. These include individual educational plans, curriculum adaptation and development, effective instruction, including and supporting students with disabilities within general education, positive behavior management, secondary education transition programs, and program evaluation. The third section, "Professional Development and Support," contains four chapters designed to help leaders in special education create supportive working environments for teachers and service providers as well as to facilitate professional growth among staff members. These four chapters include information on staff development, teacher support, teacher collaboration, and teacher and personnel evaluation. (References accompany each chapter.) (JDD)
