Don’t IEP Alone Academy Responds to Teacher Feedback with Expanded IEP Training and New IEP Progress Monitoring Course
Lisa Lightner, Special Education Advocate and ADayInOurShoes founder
The IEP Solutions Bundle is all 3 of our most popular products for one low price-- so teachers can save time and stay compliant.
Don’t IEP Alone Academy expands its teacher-driven IEP CECs with new Progress Monitoring Course and updates for IEP Data Collection and IEP Present Levels.
The new course joins two newly updated cornerstone trainings: IEP Data Collection and IEP Present Levels, all of which have been enhanced with new modules, practical tools, and examples drawn directly from the real-world challenges teachers face.
“For over a decade, I’ve seen firsthand how much teachers care, and how little support they often get when it comes to the data and documentation side of special education,” said Lisa Lightner, founder of Don’t IEP Alone Academy and a nationally recognized special education advocate. “Our goal has always been to make IEP development faster, clearer, and more meaningful for teachers and teams.”
Research-Driven Development
Every year for the past three years, Lightner and her team have surveyed more than 500 teachers and school staff about their IEP responsibilities and challenges.
Over 80% reported they do not feel fully supported by their district when it comes to tools and information for IEP development.
76% identified data collection, progress monitoring, and present levels as the areas where they struggle most.
Those findings directly inform the Academy’s product roadmap. “We don’t guess what teachers need, we build it based on what they tell us,” Lightner said.
New Tools, Real Impact
Each of the three updated courses now includes downloadable templates, video walkthroughs, and Continuing Education Credits (CECs) so educators can earn professional development hours while improving their practice. The newly released IEP Progress Monitoring Course focuses on:
Translating data into legally compliant IEPs
Identifying and fixing common monitoring mistakes
Writing meaningful progress reports that demonstrate student growth
For a limited time, all three courses: the IEP Data Collection Course (3 CECs), IEP Present Levels Blueprint (5 CECs), and IEP Progress Monitoring Course (6 CECs), are available together in the IEP Solutions Bundle, offering teachers a comprehensive, affordable path to mastering the most complex parts of the IEP process.
