In this episode, Stephanie is breaking down some of the most common (and frustrating) misconceptions about IEPs—the ones every special education teacher has heard at some point. If you’ve ever been told “that’s just how it is,” this episode clears the air and sets the record straight.

What You’ll Learn:

– Why special education does not mean separate education

– What happens when an IEP needs to be changed before the annual meeting

– The truth about accommodations and “unfair advantages”

– Why no two students with the same disability should have the same IEP

– Whether students with IEPs can be held to grade-level standards

– What inclusion actually means for special ed and gen ed teachers

– Why general education teachers must understand each student’s IEP

Whether you’re a new teacher or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with reminders, clarifications, and myth-busting truths to help you advocate with confidence.
