Superintendents, central office administrators, principals, school
board members and students in the field of education will find this
book to be useful in guiding their own professional development and
practice. The authors cover a variety of useful topics in special
education, ranging from finances, how to systematically monitor the
assignment of paraprofessionals, and transportation, to legal
considerations and methods of promoting parent engagement.
Co-editors Bittel and Young invited seasoned educators and
professionals to share their expertise in a wide range of important
subjects that collectively promote an understanding of how to
transform special education programs and service delivery in public
school settings. Chapter topics were intentionally selected to
address the common special education program challenges facing
school superintendents; and the focus throughout this book was on
providing practical suggestions to improve actual practice. As
such, current and aspiring educational leaders and policy-makers
who are interested in learning more about how to successfully
tackle some of the more complex challenges in special education
while find this book to be an invaluable resource.
School superintendents, business managers, central office leaders,
elected officials, industry leaders, educators, and aspiring
practitioners in the field of education will find this book a
useful resource in understanding innovative ways to stretch limited
school resources or to improve the scope and quality of services
and programs offered to deserving students. Approaching educational
entrepreneurship by leveraging public and private partnerships is
the primary focus throughout the book. Where available, real-world
examples from school districts across the country are presented to
provide the reader with ideas to consider and potentially emulate.
Appreciating that there are innumerable ways for school leadership
to pursue entrepreneurialism, chapters that represent a wide
cross-section of common areas of educational practice were selected
for inclusion. It should not be surprising, then, that such topics
as curriculum development, educational technology, cooperative
purchasing, higher education relationships, grant writing,
foundation planning, and special education service delivery were
all examined as potential public-private partnership opportunities.
Improving schools in the twenty-first century will require new ways
of approaching age-old challenges, not the least of which centers
on increasingly scarce public funding. In response, the authors
invite all readers to join the quest of applying the principles of
entrepreneurship to schools to make them even stronger for the next
generation.
