Building collaborative and productive relationships among parents, schools, and agencies is essential for supporting meaningful student participation and fostering positive post-secondary outcomes. Authentic interagency collaboration plays a pivotal role in ensuring that partnerships are comprehensive, coordinated, and focused on the unique needs of each student. Building collaborative and productive relationships that provide genuine support to students is easier said than done. But it doesn’t have to be so hard. This interactive and fast paced session focuses on the importance of building and maintaining strong parent-school partnerships. All stakeholders need to fully commit to work together in collaboration to help build those positive, trusting and productive relationships which lead to positive and productive outcomes. Using applied improvisation, participants will participate in hands-on exercises that teach team building, conflict resolution, and negotiation strategies.
