The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) encourages a working relationship between home and school to collectively make decisions with the goal of providing the child with appropriate educational services. Good preparation for an Individual Education Plan (IEP) meeting is the most important means of avoiding conflicted and tense meetings. This research is designed to highlight laws which guide our special education practices, clarify models to resolve complaints, and identify useful and objective strategies to be prepared for all IEP meetings.

Here is my final staff development for training paraprofessionals. Mary Young

This is a three part series of training sessions that span 1 1/2 hours each meeting time. Our goal is to educate paraprofessionals on how to instruct special needs students in a collaborative and cohesive learning environment while learning how to interact with teachers, parents, administrators and most of all, students.

This is a three part in-service project that will provide co-teaching partners an opportunity to review elements of effective co-teaching, to utilize strategies to improve the collaborative process, and to identify, implement, and evaluate effective instructional delivery methods. Participants will have an opportunity to collaborate, reflect, problem solve, and celebrate. ( I did not attach copies of all of the worksheets and activities I used, but if you would like them I can send them to you by email.) Nancy LopezFinal Staff Developments
