Roles and responsibilities of special education administrators in open-enrollment charter schools

In this study of Texas Special Education Administrators in open-enrollment charter schools, the focus was on the roles and responsibilities of the profession. The Likert scale portion of the survey was based on the special education supervisor survey conducted by Hermann (2011). The Likert scale questions were reformatted for this study. Data were collected from 26 Texas special education administrators in open-enrollment charter schools. Using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient to determine instrument reliability by looking at the inter-correlation of each survey role item with chi-square goodness of fit tests for trends, information was gathered through a 36-instrument survey.
