Don't Meet Just to Meet: Collaborating for Successful Meetings

HLP Webinar Series - HLP #2: Organize and facilitate effective meetings

Presented by Marilyn Friend, Ph.D.

*** Date Change: This webinar will now be held Thursday, Oct. 29, from 4-5 p.m. ET ***

Special educators lead and participate in a variety of meetings. They serve together on RTI/MTSS teams, share responsibilities for preparing IEPs, partner to co-plan and co-teach, and participate in professional learning community and school improvement work. The success of these meetings depends on collaboration and communication, and your ability to build consensus. This webinar will help you further your collaborative skills to lead effective, productive meetings where all participants feel heard and respected.

After this webinar, you’ll be able to answer these questions:

• What sorts of roles might you play in different types of meetings?
• How can you prepare for meetings, in both your collaborative skills as well as logistically?
• What skills and strategies are the most important for you as a member and leader of school teams?
