Leading Beyond the Classroom: Pathways from Special Educator to School Leader

School leaders play a key role in supporting special educators, including creating pathways for these educators to become school leaders themselves. But it is unclear if school leaders have the experience in special education that would help them to effectively support special educators’ practice and career growth. In this upcoming webinar, SPARC Center experts and national leaders will present the results of three studies of school leaders’ prior experience in special education, and what the results mean for supporting special educators. Join us to explore what the research reveals about this leadership gap, why it persists, and the implications for school and district leaders working to build strong school leadership pathways.
