We know that the quick, unexpected shift to remote working and learning has changed how we hold meetings, and IEP meetings are no exception. So, we've collected some great resources and articles to share the best tips for running virtual IEP meetings with you. These resources cover preparing technology and team members for the meeting, running a smooth and productive conversation, effectively engaging parents before, during, and after the meeting, and more.
If you're interested in having a SPARC facilitator assist with your virtual meeting, email Kathy Murphy at kmmurphy@udel.edu or call us at 302-831-8158.
