Why Teachers Become Special Education Advocates


Why are so many educators leaving the classroom — not to quit, but to advocate?

In this webinar replay, Karen Mayer Cunningham hosts a candid, emotional, and eye-opening panel of former teachers, diagnosticians, and school leaders who now work as special education advocates.

They share what finally made them say:
“This isn’t what we were taught.”
“This isn’t what the law says.”
“And this isn’t working for kids.”

You’ll learn:
What educators discover after proper IEP training
Why silence at the IEP table is taught — and enforced
How advocacy actually supports teachers (not attacks them)
What parents should know before walking into their next meeting
How one conversation can change a child’s entire educational path
