In this presentation, attendees will hear from an active administrator, Amy Filipovich, supporting Autistic Support Classrooms that are using evidence-based practices. Amy will detail her journey from the start of her administrative career in supporting Autistic Support classrooms to the present in which she works collaboratively with additional administrators and effectively manage classroom teachers, related services, and para-educators. Discussions will include hiring, training, and supporting classroom staff members throughout each school year. These practices will assist administrators in achieving retainment of staff and effective classroom management to produce better student outcomes.
