Be the Change: How a SPED Fellow Academy Mentor-Coach Works Toward Eliminating Barriers to Student Success

The Department’s SPED Fellow Academy instills the next generation of special education leaders with the knowledge and skills they need to lead and sustain change. It is integral to ensuring Louisiana school systems continue to have well-equipped special education leaders. We recently sat down with Dr. Sheila Lockett, Executive Director of the Department of Exceptional Children for Caddo Parish Public Schools, to discuss her role as a mentor-coach for the SPED Fellow Academy, how she plans on supporting her fellows and best practices she recommends to provide an equitable and appropriate education for students with exceptionalities.
