About This Webinar
Are you ready to transform how your school or district negotiates change? Join the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the AFT for a dynamic, solutions-focused webinar on interest-based bargaining (IBB)—a collaborative approach that shifts negotiations from positions to shared problem-solving.
Whether you’re a seasoned negotiator or new to the process, this session will demystify IBB and show you how it can strengthen relationships, build trust and lead to more sustainable agreements for educators, school staff and administrators alike. We’ll walk through real-world examples and practical strategies that participants can use immediately—from identifying core interests and building consensus, to navigating tough conversations and overcoming common roadblocks.
Leave equipped with actionable steps to start applying IBB in your own context—and stay for a live Q&A to get your questions answered by experienced practitioners.
This session is ideal for union members, school leaders, educators, speech-language pathologists, educational audiologists, specialized instructional support personnel, and anyone involved in collaborative decision-making or collective bargaining.
