Sound Familiar?
-
IEP meetings run 30+ minutes over while parents grow frustrated and teachers scramble
- Your newest teacher said "we don't have the budget" to a parent requesting a 1:1 aide, and now you're doing damage control
-
Team members show up unprepared, unsure of their role, or silent the entire meeting
-
You spend your evenings re-writing goals and fixing compliance errors your team missed
-
You're one bad meeting away from a due process complaint, and you know it
The real problem isn't your team's dedication, it's their preparation.
Most SPED teachers were never trained to facilitate IEP meetings. This guide fixes that in 15 minutes.
