Survey of the states: special education knowledge requirements for school administrators.
Regular education administrators must possess a knowledge of special education to effectively implement P.L. 94-142, and to experiment with and accomplish many of the proposed objectives of the regular education initiative. To determine the existing knowledge base of school administrators in special education and special education law, we surveyed state directors of special education. This article reports the results of the survey, discusses implications, and offers suggestions for improvement.
