Hi Reader, Let’s talk about IEP meetings. You know the feeling, the calendar reminder pops up and suddenly you’re questioning every data point you’ve ever collected. Did I update that goal?

And then the bell rings.Prep over.Nothing checked off your list. In Special Education, time isn’t money it’s sanity. And January is already hard enough without feeling like your prep periods are disappearing into thin air. That’s why I wrote a...
