Induction Teachers (3 years or fewer)
Description
The conference session is designed to be relevant for induction and / or pre-service teachers who are still learning about the real world of running an IEP meeting for one of their students with disabilities. The top ten tips are derived from direct experience in public schools in the field of special education and training induction and pre-service teachers. Parents, administrators and teacher colleagues rely on the special education case manager to be prepared and confident in leading the IEP Team through stressful conversations. According to the High Leverage Practice (HLP)# 2, teachers must organize and facilitate effective meetings with professionals and families (McLeskey et. al, 2017). Teachers have to be familiar with the terminology of HLP and specially designed instruction (SDI) during meetings (Riccomini et al, 2017). This session will arm new teachers with methods of relaying confidence and knowledge in high stress meetings.
