The Role of Efficient and Successful Educators on Improving Teaching Quality and Student Achievement

Special  education  presents  one  of  the  major  challenges  facing  school  leaders  in  this  era  of comprehensive school reform. Today,  schools  must  provide   students with disabilities appropriate  access  to  the  general  curriculum  and  effective  instructional  support. Student  progress  must  be  monitored  closely  and  demonstrated  through  participation  in  assessment  efforts. Research suggests  that  the  principal’s  role  is  pivotal  in  the  special  education  process; however, few school leaders are well prepared for this responsibility. School leaders across the nation are exploring ways to better educate students and improve school performance. School-based management offers a way to promote improvement by decentralizing control from central district offices to individual school sites. It attempts to give school constituents administrators, teachers, parents and other community members more control over what happens in schools.
