Effective instructional leadership requires intentional collaboration to ensure equitable student outcomes. This session highlights how an Assistant Principal and instructional coaches partnered to amplify learning for students receiving special education services. Through the Special Education PCI process, coaching cycles, and professional learning, special education teachers deepened their understanding of Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) and strengthened the alignment between IEP goals and the core curriculum. Participants will explore practical structures, including collaborative planning , observations, and data-driven reflection, to build teacher capacity, increase instructional coherence, and ensure SDI is purposeful, measurable, and seamlessly embedded within high-quality Tier I instruction.
