Abstract

Local special education administrators (LSEAs) are integral in facilitating career development services for students with disabilities alongside their peers, particularly in rural school districts. This qualitative study explored the perceptions of 12 LSEAs regarding their contributions related to career development for students with disabilities in their rural districts and the factors they perceive to shape their own ability in this area. The emergent grounded theory indicated that LSEAs viewed their own roles in career development to vary widely and compete with other priorities as well as to be contextualized by their knowledge and awareness of opportunities within their districts and communities. Furthermore, LSEAs perceived these roles to be shaped by their collaborations within their districts, their partnerships in the community, the involvement of students’ families, and training and supports available to them. Recommendations for research, practice, and policy with respect to extending the contributions of LSEAs are provided.
地方特殊教育管理者对促进农村地区职业发展服务的看法
地方特殊教育管理者(LSEAs)在促进残疾学生的职业发展服务方面发挥着不可或缺的作用,尤其是在农村学区。这项定性研究探讨了 12 名地方特殊教育行政人员对他们在农村地区残疾学生职业发展方面所做贡献的看法,以及他们认为影响自己在这一领域能力的因素。新兴的基础理论表明,地方教育助理认为自己在职业发展中的作用差别很大,与其他优先事项竞争,并受其对所在地区和社区机会的了解和认识的影响。此外,LSEAs 认为这些角色是由他们在地区内的合作、他们在社区内的伙伴关系、学生家庭的参与以及他们所能获得的培训和支持所决定的。本报告就如何扩大地方教育助理的贡献提出了研究、实践和政策方面的建议。
