Professional Development

Professional Development for Educators

Clear. Accessible. Practical IEP Training.

Educators are asked to do more than ever — often with limited time, increasing paperwork, and high compliance expectations. My professional development is designed to support educators where they are, offering practical strategies that improve IEP quality without adding to burnout.

I’m Jenny Thompson, M.Ed., founder of The Accessible IEP, and I provide professional learning for schools and districts focused on accessible, legally sound, and instructionally meaningful IEP practices.
