🌞 Why You Need a Summer IEP Coaching Session

Let’s be honest—by the time summer rolls around, you don’t want to hear the word “IEP” again until September.

And yet…
Come Fall, how often do we say to ourselves:

  • “I should’ve organized this earlier.”

  • “I wish I had a better plan for this student.”

  • “I feel like I’m already behind—and it’s only the first week.”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why I created the Build Now, Lead Strong: Summer IEP Coaching Sessions—because doing the prep now means peace of mind later.

Here’s why this 1:1 support might be the smartest investment you make this summer.

đź§  1. You Deserve a Clear Plan Before the Chaos Starts

When the school year hits, it’s go-time: meetings, data collection, progress monitoring, parent communication, and somehow fitting in instruction. Most special educators are expected to lead IEP teams, but we’re rarely given the time or space to plan for how we’ll actually do that.

A Summer IEP Coaching session gives you a chance to:

  • Map out your team and their roles

  • Set up communication systems before issues arise

  • Get ahead on data collection and documentation

  • Walk into IEP meetings prepared—not panicked

💬 2. You’ll Build Stronger Parent & Stakeholder Relationships

One of the biggest sources of IEP stress? Miscommunication.

This coaching session walks you through how to:

  • Send clear, proactive messages to families

  • Set expectations and build trust from the first day of classes

  • Keep a simple, organized communication log (that protects you and your team)

You’ll even get templates to copy and use—because no one has time to reinvent the wheel every year.

📊 3. You’ll Use Data That Actually Supports Your IEPs

Let’s face it—collecting baseline data can feel overwhelming. But if you don’t start with clear data, writing compliant goals becomes guesswork.

In your session, we’ll break it down:

  • What data you need (and what you don’t)

  • How to collect and chart it simply

  • How to connect it directly to your IEP goals

You’ll practice with real examples from your own caseload and walk away with tracking tools that work with your time—not against it.

📝 4. Your IEPs Will Be Defensible, Clear, and Student-Focused

You shouldn’t have to fear IEP audits or team challenges.
You shouldn’t feel unsure about the legal strength of your goals.
And you definitely shouldn’t feel like you’re “just guessing.”

With coaching, we’ll ensure your IEPs:

  • Are rooted in data

  • Follow SMART and compliant guidelines

  • Include services and accommodations that make sense and are well-documented

Whether you’re new to writing IEPs or want to sharpen your skills, this 1:1 IEP Summer session gives you personalized feedback and real tools to use immediately.
