2025 ACSA Every Child Counts Symposium

Participants will learn strategies and techniques to effectively manage and resolve conflicts that arise within educational settings, fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment. The training/speaking engagement will emphasize practical skills, empathy, communication, and legal and ethical considerations specific to the education sector. Mediation offers a neutral, structured process where families and educational leaders can address conflicts and concerns collaboratively. This process helps build trust by ensuring that all parties feel heard and respected. Strong relationships between schools and families are crucial for student success. When families feel valued and included in their child's education, they are more likely to support school initiatives and work cooperatively with educators.
