IEP Solutions Bundle: Present Levels + Data Collection Made Easy

Writing Present Levels and collecting meaningful data shouldn't take hours—or feel like guesswork.

The IEP Solutions Bundle is your all-in-one resource to help you contribute to the IEP process with clarity and confidence.

Whether you’re a special education teacher drafting the IEP or a general education teacher expected to provide input and data, this bundle gives you practical, time-saving tools to:

• Collect relevant classroom data quickly and consistently

• Write or contribute to Present Levels that are student-centered and legally sound

• Understand what’s expected of you in the IEP process—without being overwhelmed

• Save time, reduce stress, and feel more prepared at every IEP meeting

These are the same tools I've used—and refined—for over a decade as an advocate working directly with IEP teams across the country. Now they’re available to help you support your students better, with less frustration and more clarity.

✅ Professional Development: About PD Hours & CECs from Don’t IEP Alone

At Don’t IEP Alone, we know how important meaningful, relevant professional development is for busy teachers—and how hard it can be to find high-quality training that actually helps in the classroom.

While we are not currently an accredited CEU provider through a specific state or national organization, many school districts accept certificates of completion from self-paced training programs like ours, especially when the course content is clearly educational, time-stamped, and well-documented. 

📄 What You’ll Receive Upon Completion

Each course or bundle from Don’t IEP Alone includes:

• A certificate of completion with:

  • Learner’s name

  • Course title and description

  • Total instructional hours

  • Completion date

  • Learning objectives

  • Instructor name

• Optional reflection forms or quizzes to support internal documentation

• Clear outlines of content covered to share with your administrator if needed

Note: Acceptance of PD hours or CECs is always subject to your local district’s policies, Act 48 and approval. We recommend checking with your administrator or PD coordinator before submission.

How to Use This for Professional Development Credit

Most U.S. school districts allow teachers to submit outside PD hours for credit, provided that:

• The content aligns with your role or instructional responsibilities

• The course provides clear evidence of instructional time

• A certificate and documentation are included

We are happy to provide a “Professional Development Approval Request” one-pager for you to submit to your district, along with course documentation.
