Abstract	The role of the principal is very complex. Principals are the leader of the building and all the education that occurs within its walls. Included in the responsibilities for principals is the education of students with disabilities. A principal needs to have solid, fundamental knowledge of the scope of special education and the processes used for evaluating and educating students protected under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Realizing principals need to know about special education, this paper reviews recommendations from multiple studies related to special education competencies for principals, and will also review suggestions from experts in the field. Based on the recommendations for principal's knowledge about special education, it will review the standards for principals' training provided by multiple organizations specifically as it relates to special education. The organizations and their recommendations related to principal training will be reviewed by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC), the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP), the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC), the National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA), along with recommendations of the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP). Finally, it will propose a specific set of special education competencies for principals based on recommendations from hundreds of principals across the nation. (ERIC).
