I am confused by the words " certified educational administrator " ... here
in UK an educational administrator is just that - an administrator. In the
school where I am a governor the administrator looks after the finances,
makes sure the caterers and cleaners do their jobs, orders the supplies, and
generally deals with the administration of the infrastructure. At the Local
Education Authority there are administrators who deal with processing
paperwork for special educational needs, but they are neither " licensed "
nor do they need to know anything about recognising ESNs. In the US context,
is a " certified educational administrator " a teacher with specialist
training and management responsibilities, a non-teaching specialist such as
a specialist nurse or therapist, or what ?
Here in England recognising special needs is a job for specially trained
teachers such as the school's SENCO ( Special Education Needs Co-ordinator)
with the advice of the school nurse, educational psychologist,
physiotherapist, speech therapist, doctor or other appropriate professional.
Whilst they have designated responsibilities, they are not seen as
" administrators " but as senior teachers with specialised knowledge and
training.
