Based on feedback from parents & districts that the WI Special Education Mediation System (“WSEMS” for short) surveyed about what worked & what could have been improved in IEP meetings, this workshop provides practical tips & techniques that can increase the productivity of an IEP meeting. Implementing these ideas can help districts & parents have forward-looking and creative IEP meetings to set the stage for a constructive relationship that can continue throughout the student’s educational program.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will understand feedback from parents and districts in Wisconsin about what worked and what didn’t work in IEP meetings.
• Participants will receive constructive and practical tips and techniques to increase the productivity of an IEP meeting.
• Participants will receive suggestions for developing strong parent/educator relationships through the IEP process.
