Using fifty-four indicators selected from the literature, four research questions were addressed, yielding the following results. (1) Do differences exist between immediate supervisors' perceptions of the quality with which indicators of management and organization skills are exhibited by teachers they consider to be the (a) most skilled and (b) least skilled at management and organization of classrooms for moderately and severely handicapped students? Results indicated that in general, differences do exist between their perceptions. (2) Do differences exist in the indicators that immediate supervisors, peer professionals and subordinates perceive to be performed very well by the most skilled teachers? Results indicated that only minor differences exist between their perceptions. (3) In addition to the indicators included in the literature, what indicators do respondents mention that the most skilled teachers perform very well? Twenty-nine additional indicators were mentioned that the most skilled teachers performed very well. (4) Do differences exist in the indicators that the three groups of respondents perceive to be (1) most important and (2) least important for teachers of moderately and/or severely handicapped students?
