College of Education
Indiana Special Education Administrators'
Services (ISEAS)
ACTIVITIES
- Project activities are determined by the Steering Committee based
on monthly input from constituent administrators. Adjustments have
been made over the years by deleting some activities and adding
others. Current, major ISEAS activities are listed below:
- ISEAS
CABLE - A monthly newsletter is sent to
directors of special education and other interested parties. It
helps satisfy the administrator's need for information impacting
on special education from the State and Federal levels.
- Topical Conferences
- ISEAS conducts at least one conference each year for
administrators or their support staff members. The topics are
determined through assessment and priority setting by the
Steering Committee.
- ISEAS University Forum
- Representatives of departments of special education from
several of Indiana's colleges/universities, the state director
of special education, an ICASE representative, and the ISEAS
director meet regularly. This Forum provides a link between the
universities and the local and state special education
administrators in their pursuit of mutual solutions to personnel
preparation concerns.
- Academy
- The first annual Academy: Leadership and Education for
Administrators in Special Education was launched in December
1995. The vision for each Academy is to bring special education
administrators together to focus on issues beyond business as
usual.
- Technical Assistance
- ISEAS staff is available via the telephone number or by fax
or e-mail to answer questions and provide materials on
leadership trends and management issues. The project serves as a
link for administrators in the field to consultants and
resources in the Indiana DOE Division of Exceptional Learners.
- Other Activities
- The ISEAS project provides clerical and other support to task
forces and committees; conducts statewide surveys; and provides
subscriptions to The Special Educator for any interested
directors of special education. The project prints and
distributes selected materials including the Standards Manual,
Administrators' Directory, and other publications as needed.
