IEP Facilitation & Training

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is seeking to establish a contract for training and certification of IEP meeting facilitators. The contract will be for a period of one year, with three one-year renewal options. The successful supplier will be required to provide training to school districts across the state, using their proprietary training materials. The training will focus on conflict prevention and resolution through IEP facilitation, and will include specialized knowledge of IDEA, working knowledge of the 13 federally recognized categories of disability, and solid facilitation skills. Key considerations for this opportunity include the supplier's ability to provide high-quality training and certification, as well as their experience working with school districts and families of students with disabilities. Some key points to consider are: • The contract is for a single feasible source, with Key2Ed Inc. being the only organization that fits DESE's training requirements. • The training will be provided statewide to all school districts. • The supplier will be required to use their proprietary training materials. • The contract period is for one year, with three one-year renewal options. • The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is the agency responsible for this opportunity.
