Improving IEP Teams: Skills for Encouraging Productive Conversations and Resolving Conflict

Audience: Educators, Other District/School Staff | Topic: Alternative Dispute Resolution, Special Education | Hosted by: Office of Special Education

Requirement for School / District Staff: N/A

Face-to-Face format

All IEP team members can benefit from learning dynamic facilitative skills to move through conflict. Because parents and educators may not share identical perceptions of the child or goals for the student, conflict may arise. Facilitative skills are helpful every day, at every meeting, and even before disagreements become disputes.

This workshop is for any professional IEP team member interested in improving the IEP team process, including special education directors and coordinators, special education teachers, general education teachers, school psychologists, school social workers, and other related service providers.

Separate trainings are offered in collaboration with PEAK Parent Center to support the development of these skills for parents and advocates.

Skills and knowledge taught in the six-hour Improving IEP Teams workshop include*:
