Professional Development for Administrators in Special Education: Evaluation of a Program for Underrepresented Personnel
Dianne S. Monteith
South Carolina State University
Abstract
The Special Education Training Program (SETP) offers training for school administrators, focusing on bridging the gap between theory and practical application of knowledge needed to design, develop, effectively implement, and supervise programs for students with special needs in the least restrictive environment. In addition to the ten-hour field experience that was part of each course, students participated in an on-site practicum which emphasized special education administrative duties at the district or school. Student responses to openended questions related to the professional development program were positive, and that organizational and motivational strategies incorporated in the program contributed to its success.
