4.7.5 Walk Out of A Meeting Smiling? Provocative Teaming Ideas for 2e Students, Parents, and Educators
Educational meetings where high-stakes decisions are made about the academic and social emotional programming a child will receive, are often emotional, conflictive, and exhausting. Powerful, provocative teaming can bring changes that will benefit all 2e students. Imagine a collaborative, congenial, insightful IEP, 504, a conference, or any strategy meeting for a 2e student; this meeting will bring together the skill sets of teaching, psychology, counseling, and content knowledge from education professionals, and the skill sets of experienced, loving, knowledgeable, concerned parents who desire a rich learning environment for their child; the child has a voice, too. The “whole” team is there to support the “whole” child. Participants will be able to implement these strategies in their own school communities.
