Description:
This interview provides a prime example of the impact and process of leveraging services to support special needs in public schools. Join District Leader’s Podcast host Ed Milliken and Dr. Jerry W. Shiveley, Executive Director/CEO of the Intermediate Unit of Montgomery County, Norristown PA, as they discuss how schools can offer an increased variety of instructional, support, and management programs and services through the collaboration among school districts created by the intermediate agency. The discussion ranges from leadership, to teacher education, equity, student special needs, cost-effective services, parent involvement, and beyond!
The Intermediate Education Agency is an important agency in providing local school districts with strong learning and management programs is a very cost effective structure.

Similarly, other offerings such as staff development, equity initiatives, advocacy, and Response to Intervention programs are regionally provided by the I.A. While many challenges confront education, Dr. Shiveley provides an exciting and promising future for education. Educational leadership is both demanding and satisfying. As such, it is a worthy career goal with many rewarding experiences and growth opportunities.
