A Fan Fiction Podcast for El Groupies

Inside the Guide

Side-by-side checklists: compliance minimums vs. best-practice upgrades
Classroom-ready examples: what it looks like in action for accommodations, LRE, BIPs, and more
Quick prompts: use with your team to audit where you’re strong and where you’re exposed
Transition snapshot: start earlier, plan smarter, involve the right partners
Parent partnership scripts: communicate clearly, prevent conflict, solve together

Why This Works

Legal timelines protect access. Best practices drive outcomes. When you shift from rigid compliance to thoughtful, student-centered systems, you reduce surprises, strengthen instruction, and make IEPs the collaboration tool they were meant to be.

A practical guide to move from “checking boxes” to practices that actually help every student thrive.
