Too often, IEP teams are blindsided by requests they are unprepared to address, or meetings get sidetracked by contentious interactions among participants. Don’t let difficult IEP meetings stall progress toward the ultimate goal — serving students effectively.

In this recorded audio conference, seasoned administrative veteran Larry Brunson outlines proven strategies that enable your team members to walk into meetings confident and prepared to handle even the most challenging situations.

• Manage time in difficult meetings and ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to participate
• Respond when challenged by a parent, advocate or attorney and keep the discussion focused on the student
• Prevent any one person from dominating a meeting and move through the agenda to get to what is best for the student
• Follow up on agreements made during the meeting to rebuild trust and collaboration
• And more!
