Role of Line Manager v. Staff Specialist

This learning objective specifically outlines the role of human resources to directly effect school outcomes through the hiring process.

Line Managers and staff specialist have unique responsibilities but similar objectives. Through research I learned that line managers are not typically associated with education. When they are, “a line manager needs to provide training that updates current employees' methods. A line manager also needs to provide training that updates current employees' methods.”(State University: First-Line Supervisor)

A staff specialist “develops, prepares, and presents substitute personnel training programs; determines and prioritizes certificated and classified substitute job assignments, and assigns and/or reassigns qualified substitute personnel as needed to meet program needs; and performs related duties as required.” (Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE)

I would like to learn more about these positions.
