Bridging the Gap:

A New Approach to School–Family Partnerships in Special Education

Nov 19th, 12-1pm est

 
What if families felt supported and informed—and school teams had the tools, resources, and guidance to communicate with clarity, confidence, and transparency?
Navigating evaluations, eligibility, IEPs, and student progress can be overwhelming for families and demanding for school teams. Even with dedicated staff and established procedures, questions and misunderstandings can complicate communication and collaboration.
But what if schools had a partner to help bridge that gap?
Join Jana Lee & Associates for a free virtual Lunch & Learn exploring how a partnership can provide families with individualized guidance, strengthen school-family communication, and support more productive collaboration.

What Could a Partnership Look Like?

1. A Dedicated Resource for Families
Provide families with knowledgeable support to navigate evaluations, eligibility, IEPs, available services, and next steps, complementing the work of school teams.

2. Better-Prepared Families. More Productive Meetings.
Help families understand assessment results, organize questions, and participate meaningfully in meetings so conversations remain focused, collaborative, and student-centered.

3. Stronger Communication Between Home and School
Strengthen communication, coordinated follow-through, and shared understanding of student needs to reduce misunderstandings and support common goals.

4. More Intentional, Data-Informed Student Support
Use assessment results, progress-monitoring data, behavioral observations, and intervention plans, including FBAs and BIPs, to support informed conversations and decisions about student needs.

The Goal? Better Support for Families. Greater Capacity for Schools.

This isn't about adding another initiative or creating more work for your team. It's about exploring how a partnership can provide families with the guidance they need while allowing school staff to focus their time and expertise where it matters most.

Join us to explore what this could look like in your school or district.
