capacity at the building level:

– They help the principal and staff build a strong, positive, and inclusive school culture – They assist all students to grow, accept responsibility, and build relationships – They provide support, guidance, and direction to families and caregivers – They work closely with staff, including nurse, guidance, School Resource Officer, & others to meet student and school needs & ensure school and student safety/wellbeing – They supervise teachers and TAs and provide support, ideas, and suggestions for growth and improvement – Needham’s Assistant Principals act as “co-pilots” with their principal in leading each school

  • Strengthen specialized programs for students with Autism and

Emotional Disabilities (Connections, Transitions, Middle School Autism)

  • Meet target caseloads for special education liaisons, related

service providers, ELL teachers, and counselors
