CADRE, the The Center for Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Special Education, has two new resources to support more collaborative and productive conversations between educators, administrators, and parents.
The updated Tale of Two Conversations is a two-part video series shows a parent of a child with a disability and a school administrator demonstrating poor communication skills and then provides the positive alternative.

Considering Mediation for Special Education Disputes: A School Administrator’s Perspective is a pamphlet describing, from an administrators perspective, the benefits of participating in mediation to solve special education disputes between parents and educators.
