Facilitated IEP Training Information

Collaborative, student-focused IEP teams are best equipped to make sound decisions in the development and implementation of IEPs.  Would you like to participate in training designed to build capacity within your district or charter?  ADE/ESS/Dispute Resolution offers professional learning opportunities, free of charge, to PEAs seeking to establish or strengthen a Facilitated IEP culture.  Our current presentations emphasize key components of effective Facilitated IEP meetings:  basic knowledge of the IEP process under the IDEA; standardized meeting practices and management skills; and creating an environment that aids in minimizing conflict and maximizing collaboration.  Our Alternative Dispute Resolution Specialist will work with PEAs to meet your team's individual needs as you prepare for upcoming professional development opportunities.

Target Audience:  Special education and general education teachers, district representatives, school psychologists, related service providers, and others involved in the development of a student's IEP.
