Dawn Ellis
presenter, nbct
Hi, I'm Dawn Ellis, NBCT and former special education teacher of 15+ years turned curriculum designer and coach for other SPED teachers. I’ve sat in hundreds of IEP meetings—and I’ve felt the overwhelm firsthand. That’s why I created systems that actually work and resources that save time without sacrificing student success. I host the Be The Exception podcast and lead The Exceptional Collective to help teachers like you thrive—not just survive—the IEP process.
Here's what others are saying
