Forum on Family/School Partnerships in Special Education in Manchester
NH Connections will hold a forum to gather people in a welcoming environment around the issue of Family/School Partnerships in Special Education to explore successful strategies and how we can further increase them.
The outcome of the forum is to identify three topics in which the region will come together on future dates to share how they are improving family/school partnerships.
Please join us and share your thoughts!
More details to follow.
NH Connections offers a wealth of information through this website. We are equipped to provide technical assistance to special education directors, coordinators and teachers on how to engage parents of children with disabilities and their families in their child’s learning and development. We are equipped to help you to engage parents to be involved in priority issues around special education at your school. The benefits of why you would want to engage parents are grounded in research.
NH Connections offers toolkits, checklists, and resources that will help to create and sustain relationships among school personnel consisting of administrators, special education teachers, special education coordinators, paraprofessionals, parents, and families.
When school personnel and parents work together towards shared interests, relationships develop and grow and respect for one another is earned. Partnerships in your school district are then created to benefit school personnel and parents and their actions will ultimately benefit students with disabilities.
