This session will focus on what “LEA Reps” as “meeting process leaders” need to know and do, including the legal requirements for serving as an LEA Rep and ensuring FAPE via the development of appropriate IEPs to students with disabilities. In addition to the essentials of the legal framework, we will focus on process leadership essentials, including some suggestions for the use of meeting process aids and strategies that will help to increase overall team member participation, meeting organization, and teamwork efficiency which, in turn, will lead to improved IEP content and student outcomes, increased legal compliance, and better relationships with parents and their representatives.
