IEP Stewardship Program Pre-Work: 20Qs (+)

Hello! Please reflect upon and complete the following questions before our initial IEP Stewardship Deep Dive in a few weeks.

It will take you about an hour, maybe a bit more or a bit less depending on how deep you’d like to go with these questions. Remember, there are no “right” or “wrong” answers, and your responses will be held in confidence.

Thanks for doing this, can’t wait to dive in with you!
