 Webinar: Navigating Collaboration with EC Advocates in Charter Schools

Working with Exceptional Children (EC) Advocates can sometimes feel complex—but it doesn’t have to be. When approached with clarity, professionalism, and a student-centered mindset, advocate interactions can become powerful partnerships that strengthen outcomes for students with diverse needs.

Join us for this practical and engaging session designed specifically for charter school leaders, EC coordinators, teachers, counselors, and student services staff. This webinar will explore how to build productive relationships with EC Advocates, address concerns collaboratively, and develop solutions that truly benefit students.

In this webinar, participants will learn how to:

• Understand the role and perspective of EC Advocates
• Communicate with confidence, transparency, and professionalism
• Prepare for meetings so conversations remain focused and constructive
• Respond to concerns while maintaining compliance and supporting staff
• Shift from conflict to collaboration through shared goal-setting
• Develop solutions that meet student needs and strengthen trust with families

Whether you’ve worked with advocates for years or are new to the process, this session will provide tools, scripts, and real-world examples you can apply immediately.
