Summary:
This clear and candid film--ideal for staff professional development and for sharing with parents--will help IEP teams maximize every participant's expertise and develop measurable and meaningful goals that really improve child outcomes. Using an actual IEP meeting for Alejandro, a young boy with multiple disabilities at the CHIME School as an exemplar, the film demonstrates how sharing, collaboration, confidence, and equality are crucial to a successful planning partnership. General and special educators model their commitment to working together to focus on the best interest of a child they clearly know and care for.
