Negotiate your Way to Success at IEP Meetings

How do educators and families make agreements that feel like a win for all? Educators and families meet, discuss and make a series of agreements. Making agreements that will last require negotiation skills that encompass awareness of cultural differences and knowledge of different cultural practices. This is critical to successful negotiations. The presenters will provide information on implementing negotiation techniques based on the work of the Harvard Program on Negotiations. These tools can assist all stakeholders to make integrated agreements (win win) that truly benefit the students and can be implemented immediately.
