Relevant Topics for Special Educators: Increasing Family Engagement

Jen Patenaude, MA

For some families, the special education process is challenging to navigate. Family input is of great importance when seeking to understand and provide the best educational experience for a learner. Fostering relationships that increase attendance, engagement, and opportunities for voice at meetings is essential for effective collaboration with families. This webinar focuses on sharing ideas and structures for improving the quality and effectiveness of home-school partnerships.
