What:
IDEA provisions for parent participation envisioned meaningful parent-school collaboration that could ultimately lead to positive student outcomes. Just like any relationship, this partnership requires hard work and commitment. Recent research has identified a number of effective, cost-efficient, and meaningful strategies that can promote meaningful parent-school partnerships through both conflict prevention and appropriate dispute resolution practices. Unfortunately, educators and parents are not always aware of how to implement such strategies. This webinar will explore the past and future direction for fostering the parent-school partnership when faced with the potential for conflict.
