Title: Talking to Parents of Students with Disabilities

about how best to address the needs of their students.

leaders to address important topics with parents of
students with disabilities. School leaders are encouraged
to participate in the following webinars to further
their knowledge and understanding of such special education

Need to Know about the Implementation of an Individualized
Education Plan (IEP)
Date: January 26, 2012 (12:00 pm -

Webinar
For parents of students with disabilities, an IEP is
a document that contains a great deal of information
which may or may not make a lot of sense to them. Being
well informed as to how the IEP will be implemented
is critical for parents so that they know if their children
are making meaningful progress. During this webinar,
school leaders will learn
effective strategies for communicating with parents,
sharing data and securing resources to ensure students'
IEPs are implemented with fidelity.

For parents of students with disabilities, much effort
is needed to ensure that the educational programming
for their children is effective. When the student actively
participates in the conversations and meetings, the
development of the IEP becomes an even more meaningful
process. During this webinar, school leaders will learn
effective ways by which to engage students in the IEP
process.
