OAPSA Community of Practice
 

The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce developed Each Child Means Each Child, a plan to improve learning experiences and outcomes for students with disabilities. One of Each Child Means Each Child’s primary focus areas is professional learning to build educators’ and systemwide capacity. Furthermore, the Department is actively recruiting and retaining special education administrators in Ohio as shortages persist for those qualified to serve in this role. Providing high-quality professional learning opportunities will support and inspire special education administrators in their positions. The Department is committed to recognizing and responding to the needs of special education administrators as these professionals are critical to the success of Ohio’s students. 

OAPSA has received a grant to develop a Community of Practice designed to provide activities to build the capacity of knowledge and resources for new administrators which will build confidence and retention within the positions of Special Education Administration.
