Using Collaborative Data Collections to Strengthen IEP Discourse
Individualized Education Planning teams need to reconceptualize their collaborative strategies while developing short and long term goals for their students. We propose the use of collaborative data collections to help educators and parents make evidence based decisions. This workshop will demonstrate how collaborative based data discussions are conducted, and will provide tools to participants so they can return to their school districts with more understanding of how each participant can provide significant data that can make an impact on the student’s education. In 2015, Michigan State University released five tips of collaborative data dialogue, in where we expand these five tips along with other resources to strengthen IEP data collections. Secord & Wiig (1993) encourages us to consider that through collaboration we can create goals that are “relevant to life and school and provide opportunities for real life application, practice, and transfer as a natural part of the curriculum and daily living.” (p. 53). When parents understand what the teachers are doing to work toward the IEP goals, they may be able to develop the same strategies at home.
- Participants will be able to describe several strategies found in collaborative dialogues.
- Participants will be able to list the important data that can contribute to the knowledge of the whole child, instead of parts of the child.
- Participants will be able to discuss different ideas for collaboration, and reflect on their experiences with IEP discussions, and analyze how things would be different if there were collaborative efforts.
