About the store
Bridge21 was created to help educators and families move beyond compliance-driven IEPs and toward real-life outcomes. After years in education and instructional design, I saw a consistent gap: students (especially those with higher support needs) were meeting academic goals but leaving school without the functional skills needed for independence. Bridge21 focuses on what happens after the classroom. Every resource is built using: ---research-based instructional design principles ---real-world transition planning strategies ---classroom-informed insight from direct experience supporting students with diverse learning needs This isn’t about adding more to your plate as a teacher. It’s about making what you’re already doing more meaningful, measurable, and aligned to life beyond school. What You’ll Find Here ---Special education professional development resources ---Transition-focused IEP goal supports ---Functional skill tracking tools ---Real-life scenario-based activities ---Data tools that go beyond academics ---Resources designed for middle and high school transition planning

Additional biographical information

I’m a former middle school math teacher and current Director of Services Enablement & Education, where I specialize in building learning systems, training programs, and data-driven strategies. My work sits at the intersection of: ---education ---instructional design ---real-world application In addition to my professional background, I’m deeply connected to the transition journey personally, navigating the path from adolescence to adulthood with a child who has significant support needs. That experience has shaped everything I create. I understand both: ---how systems are supposed to work ---and how they actually work in real life Bridge21 was built to close that gap.
