Can't We All Just Get Along?
Learning How to Effectively Facilitate and Communicate in the IEP Meetings




The IEP or ARD process in Texas can, at times, be filled with conflict and emotional disputes. A successful meeting is not just about "getting to yes"...it's about building trust through effective leadership and positive relationships. Research demonstrates how the art of facilitated meetings promotes an alternative dispute resolution method when disagreements occur, creates more data-driven decisions, and honors every member at the IEP table. Discover how facilitation skills help ARD teams communicate, problem-solve, and make decisions in ways to improve outcomes for students. Strategies such as 1) listening to understand, 2) purposeful questioning, and 3) consensus-building will be targeted and role-played to train leaders as IEP facilitators.
