How can schools provide quality professional development to ensure that regular and special education staff work together to use best practices in instruction and assessment?
Modeling a seamless educational system sets an example for all school personnel. Ideally, the special education administrator collaborates with other administrators and staff representatives to analyze student achievement data and to design a comprehensive professional development plan for all staff. Professional development should promote research-based instruction and interventions with guided practice and follow-up where needed. School teams should capitalize on structures and processes already in place to secure time, resources, and incentives to provide high quality professional development aligned with adult learning principles. Professional development committees should review PaTTANs website on a regular basis to partake of the variety of offerings that address curriculum, assessment, and effective instruction for students with and without disabilities.
