Educational Leadership: Leading with Purpose
Dr. Richard Templeton and Dr. Angel Royal will present practical communication strategies designed to strengthen collaboration and ensure compliance within IEP processes. This session equips participants to navigate difficult and complex situations with school personnel and apply effective communication practices aligned with IDEA requirements that also promote meaningful parent participation before, during, and after IEP meetings. Presenters guide attendees in using individualized communication strategies to engage team members thoughtfully and proactively, both outside and within meetings, to build trust and prevent conflict. Emphasis is placed on facilitating collective team dialogue that centers on student needs, using data to refocus challenging conversations, and supporting decision-making without allowing individual voices to overshadow the team. Participants will leave with actionable tools for navigating conflict, preserving professional relationships, and creating student-centered, compliant outcomes.
