Special Needs

Focus on Special Needs

Take advantage of CORE K12's one-day skill-building sessions focused on supporting ex­ceptional students and children with special needs.

Session: Making Meetings Work

Refresh your skills for building relationships, dealing with difficult situations, and resolving conflict. Participants discuss key factors of human nature that influence communication and conflict resolution, negotiation techniques for conflict prevention and resolution, how to better acknowledge others' accomplishments and contributions, and much more.

Session: Data-driven Goals for IEPs

Learn to restructure your IEPs as an assessment measure toward AYP. Using your existing student data, participants will collaboratively write measurable goals and objectives that reflect state standards, the general education curriculum, and are compliant with state and federal requirements while staying focused on the child's needs.

Session: Self-Determination

Self-determined young adults are more likely to live independently, and have better jobs. Explore the constructs of Self-Determination, such as self-awareness, self-advocacy, decision- making, and independent performance. Learn to address each at different grade levels, from students with mild to more severe cognitive and developmental disabilities.

The Art of Facilitating IEP Meetings

Avoid Legal Due Process

Our mission: Neutral intervention designed to avoid and/or manage conflict and to assist IEP teams in reaching consensus. This 4-day workshop provides hands-on activities, engaging processes, interactive tools, and concrete protocols for your educators to establish an organizational culture within the Individualized Education Planning where consensus and collaboration reduce conflict.

Definitive IEP guide

A complete conflict management guide, our proprietary manual provides case studies, templates to guide discussions, and suggested activities to use in conferences. This comprehensive reference helps every IEP facilitator prepare for and run a successful intervention meeting.

3 days + 1

The importance of body language and tone of voice; eye contact and proper introductions; guidelines and ground rules; big charted agendas and role-playing opportunities-- just a few of our favorite outtakes from the first 3-day workshop. A 4th day is presented by our attorney referencing issues of governance and compliance.
