Preparing for and navigating an IEP/ARD meeting can sometimes be overwhelming. Knowing how to prepare, what to expect during the meeting, and understanding your responsibilities afterward can be challenging. In this session, participants will gain knowledge about their legal and procedural responsibilities related to the development and implementation of the IEP. Special education teachers are required members of the IEP team, and effective communication and collaboration with other team members are essential to ensure students receive the supports and services outlined in their plans. This session is aligned with the IEP Content, Development, and Implementation component(s) of the TEA-required self-assessment.
