An Examination of Group Facilitator Challenges and Problem-Solving Techniques during IEP Team Meetings
Beck, Stephenson J.; DeSutter, Keri
Teacher Education and Special Education, v43 n2 p127-143 May 2020
Special education professionals serve as facilitators of Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team meetings. As special educators serve on many IEP teams during the course of an academic year, and as the member composition for each team varies, facilitators are confronted with a unique set of challenges to managing successful meetings. In this study, the authors investigate the specific types of problems and facilitator techniques occurring in IEP meetings. Findings suggest that facilitation issues and techniques are varied across special education professionals. In addition, facilitator training is needed to review and introduce facilitation techniques that may improve meeting member contributions.
