Managing Special Education Statewide: Developing an Interdependent Management System

Abstract
This article reports research on the development and evaluation of a statewide management network. A network of 529 persons nominated a peer task force which was determined to be highly representative of Michigan's 529 administrators and supervisors. This task force produced a series of products and procedures which the network of administrators and supervisors found both relevant and useful in their work. This research employed communication strategies appropriate to macrogroups to support the continued development of a Statewide Technical Assistance Network in Special Education (STANSE) — a model for state leadership personnel to use in producing state plans. It embodies public participation and annual reports to state governing boards, legislatures, and other significant publics.
