“Vision setting and goal setting about the school’s direction need to have a collective understanding among the administration and faculty,” said Alvarado. “One area of emphasis is the need for interdisciplinary work or cross-pollination of disciplines. For example, students specializing in special education need to interact with students in school psychology and general education. This is what they will be doing in the real-world setting.”
