Key2Ed Trainings/Services

Many participants in Key2Ed’s IEP Facilitation Workshop ask for additional training to validate the skills they learned and have put into use.

Participants learn to:

• Guide IEP teams to agree on appropriate, compliant, and effective IEPs
• Channel communication to building mutual understanding based on respect
• Create agreements based on full participation from all members
• Generate informed discussions
• Prevent, reduce, and resolve conflict

Most attendees of IEP meetings do not facilitate the meetings. However, they are active participants with a need to understand the role of the facilitator and the approaches and techniques used by the facilitator. These people can include:

• School administrators
• Classroom teachers
• Parents
• Related services providers
• Counselors
• Social workers
• Advocates

Participants will leave with a clear understanding of their role in the meeting as well as how to prepare for active participation, ensuring the meeting process stays focused on the needs of the student.

Have you ever been in a conversation where you are sure others are listening to respond rather than to understand? How about when you are talking but you feel that no one is really listening? Do you walk away from certain conversations thinking, “They just don’t get it!” Meaningful team conversations spur collaboration, promote growth, and increase productivity. They also enable the team to leave the conversation feeling more connected.

This three hour presentation combines research based and practical skills for serving education’s primary, secondary, and internal customers through meaningful, equity-based conversations and practices.
