Synopsis: The Principal’s Special Education Calendar is a pragmatic, “do-now” guide that addresses a building leader’s special education responsibilities over the course of the school year.Developed for novice and experienced principals, it also meets the needs of professors and aspiring principal candidates looking for a resource to bridge theoretical approaches with the practical aspects of the job.Based on quarterly marking periods for ease of planning and organization, this book provides a comprehensive guide for principals. It includes real-life scenarios, legal red flags, must-have resources to illustrate, “Why this is important,” and key monthly tasks with concluding checklists that recap the top action items for follow-up – all in a conversational, easy-to-read format. With a focus on what information principals need to know, when to know it, and why, this book is the ultimate hands-on special education guide for principals everywhere to build compliance and fill in the gaps left bare in preparation programs.
