Teacher-Friendly IEPs
What You Need to Know — Without the Overwhelm
Teaching is already enough.
IEPs shouldn’t make you lose sleep.
This practical guide gives you the clarity, confidence, and calm you need to navigate IEPs — without feeling confused, unprepared, or alone.
Whether you’re a new teacher, a seasoned educator, or someone who simply wants a better grasp of the IEP process, this resource was made for you.
Why This Guide Exists
Most teachers learn how to teach…
but no one prepares us for IEPs — the meetings, the legal side, the paperwork, the conversations, the pressure.
It can feel overwhelming.
This guide changes that.
Teacher-Friendly IEPs breaks everything down into simple language and practical steps so you can show up to IEP meetings with confidence and clarity.
No jargon.
No overwhelm.
Just what you need to know.
This guide is not legal advice.
It’s not meant to replace your district/state training.
It is a clarity + confidence tool — written for teachers — to help you understand IEPs in simple terms.
