Summer Mentorship
with Catherine Whitcher, M.Ed
Inside your Summer Mentorship, you’ll join Catherine Whitcher to create your DOUBLE WIN for you and your role at the IEP table!

You don't need to work harder... you need new habits, strategies, and support.
What If One Extraordinary Summer Could Be The Answer for the School Year You Crave?
Your school days...
Hustled morning routines, overwhelming IEP meetings, and wondering if you're "doing all that you can do" when it comes to home and school, could be all in the past.
Your weekends...
Steal your Saturdays and Sundays back! No more spending the weekends at IEP trainings or zoning out on Netflix because it's the only thing your brain can handle after an overloaded week.
Your stress levels...
You can't delegate your responsibilities and standard self-care is a band-aid fix at best. It's time to put down the buckets of anxiety and finally breathe again!

You're trying so hard to "do it all", you deserve...

ACTION PLANS
You're a high achiever who knows what you want, but all those ideas swirling about everything from IEPs to what's for dinner tonight are slowing you down. Finally, stop adding MORE things to your to-do list and find the RIGHT things to focus on for YOU.

Your Summer 2024 Mentorship is different.
+
Not a Basic Class
You're used to logging in, skipping to your favorite lessons, and maybe retaining some new skills that you might use one day. Instead, you'll be coached 12 full weeks to move your closer to your unique goals as a Special Education teacher, parent, admin, or therapist!
+
Not a Community
Forget scrolling through drama, rants, and complaints from negative Nellies. You don't need strangers' opinions about your life. You'll make real connections in a small group setting once a week and receive personal 1:1 support from Catherine for 12 weeks.
+
Not IEP 101
Yes, you sit at an IEP table. Yes, I'm giving you an entire Master IEP Coach® library to make your life easier. You'll be focused on leadership and getting your life back, not basic IEP 101 strategies you can Google.
I Love Swapping 'Oh No' into 'Oh WOW'!
In case we haven't bumped into each other before, I'm Catherine Whitcher, M.Ed, founder of the Master IEP Coach® Mentorship. I've been in the disability community just about my whole life. I'm the big sis to a handsome guy, who has Down syndrome and his IEP meetings were my first taste of the IEP rollercoaster from the family-reserved front row.
I had a dream and a plan to shake things up in Special Education as a teacher and I did that for a few years, but - I found myself working late nights helping parents through the IEP system after a full day in the classroom.
After attending an IEP meeting with a parent (that went AH-MAZING after super big struggles in the beginning) an Admin chased me into the parking lot asking me to train her staff to build IEPs with ease, I was hooked on helping teachers, too.
I've been fixing IEPs since 1996. 10 years ago I found myself making huge accomplishments in my professional life and personally, I was struggling. After a divorce, losing my house, watching my dad lose his battle with cancer, and praying every day that my daughter's severe seizures wouldn't reappear... I did the research and found the strategies I needed to pull myself up and reach my personal goals while helping others navigate IEPs.
What I never expected was the 12 stacked strategies that I used to find more joy in my days personally, would also work at the IEP table to help parents and teachers build better IEPs!
I've sprinkled these 12 strategies throughout all of my IEP trainings for 10 years, but I knew it was time to all in! In addition to several teaching degrees, 27 years of experience mentoring parents and teachers, training over 2000 Master IEP Coaches® with my own trademarked curriculum, and speaking on stages nationwide at education and family conferences... I wanted to do more. I became a Certified High Performance Coach™ and this Summer, I'm explicitly teaching you these 12 strategies so you can apply them both to your life and your IEP table, too!
Today, you'll find me living out what I thought was only a dream. I spend my days doing work that I love (changing Special Education!), with time for both me and my family, while living in a vacation town in Florida. I want you to be able to experience joy at the IEP table and beyond, too!
You deserve so much more than feeling defeated and depleted... and I'll show you how to get there!
