Guidebook Modules

These resources, published by the WI Family Assistance Center for Education, Training, and Support (WI FACETS), were developed as part of a grant from the WI Department of Public Instruction (WI DPI) under the Office of Special Education Services (OSEP).

The Guidebook

The creation of the Serving on Groups Guidebook came from an identified need to support families in serving on decision-making groups, but the information and structure of the book is intended to support anyone serving on those groups. It is a great introduction for some, a welcome refresher for others, and a resource for all, including experts and mentors, so everyone can come to the table ready to serve.

Guidebooks are available for purchase, individually or in larger quantities. Please use the following links/buttons to access ordering information.

Overview

Testimonials

Leading by Convening and Serving on Groups are considered “two sides of the same coin.” Although it is not necessary to use both resources when serving on a group, it is highly recommended to utilize both resources for producing the most positive and efficient outcomes when making decisions in a group setting.

Leading by Convening, although similar to Serving on Groups, is a resource on how to effectively engage and lead through applied essential habits – such as coalescing around issues, ensuring relevant participation, and doing work together – to help achieve overall goals.
