• instructional leaders by offering guidance, support, and direction for teachers in their subject area. They help ensure teachers are using effective instructional methods and curricula that are aligned to standards and district instructional goals.
• analysts of student achievement data and other metrics for their subject area. They identify department strengths and areas of improvement.
• program managers by overseeing the courses, programs, and co-curricular activities. Their goal is to meet student needs and interests related to their subject area.
• budget developers and resource allocators by creating and managing their department's budget. They determine the allocation of resources like equipment, materials, and textbooks.
