Overview
Our SEAQP offers you an opportunity to enhance your school-level leadership skills and knowledge to support leadership in Special Education. The program focuses on improving professional practice to support diverse learners and build more inclusive and equitable learning spaces.
It includes a culminating reflective journal that focuses your learning on a challenge you have regarding special education in your school. Assignments are often job-embedded and can be adjusted to meet individual learning needs. Our program creates a community of professional collaboration where learners discuss topics and share learning with one another.
