Educational Disobedience
Education & Reference
Educational Disobedience: A Mom Who Became A Movement is a riveting and transformative memoir that chronicles one mother’s evolution from caregiver to changemaker. Frustrated by a public education system that repeatedly failed her children, Dr. Annise Mabry refused to accept the status quo. Her journey began with deeply personal challenges — from navigating school environments that dismissed her kids’ emotional and academic needs to confronting systemic barriers faced by marginalized students — and blossomed into a powerful movement for educational equity and transformation.
This book blends heartfelt storytelling with incisive cultural critique, revealing how traditional schooling often overlooks and undermines the potential of students who don’t fit one-size-fits-all models. Rather than simply react to these shortcomings, Dr. Mabry embraced what she calls educational disobedience — a bold, compassionate, and strategic resistance to systems that perpetuate inequity. She reframed homeschooling not as retreat, but as reclamation and innovation, ultimately helping families create inclusive, trauma-informed learning environments that honor each child’s strengths.
More than a memoir, Educational Disobedience is a roadmap for parents, educators, and advocates ready to rethink education. It offers practical insight and inspiring examples of how one person’s courage can spark community transformation and help students flourish outside conventional limits.

Reframing Educational Disobedience
At its core, educational disobedience is about recognizing that every child deserves a learning environment that honors their unique strengths and needs. It starts with asking questions most systems avoid: Why does this model persist despite widespread inequity? What happens when students’ lived experiences are ignored? What would learning look like if it centered dignity, resilience, and human connection? This concept disrupts the narrative that educational change must come from authority figures. Instead, it places power in the hands of caregivers, educators, and communities willing to challenge norms, design personalized pathways, and create systems rooted in justice, curiosity, and hope. Educational disobedience invites us not to overturn education recklessly but to reimagine it boldly and humanely.
Trauma-Informed Teaching
Education & Reference
What if the behaviors you are trying to manage are actually signals asking for safety, connection, and care?
In Trauma-Informed Teaching: From Reaction to Restoration, Dr. Annise Mabry offers a powerful, healing-centered guide for homeschool cooperatives, microschools, and alternative education programs serving students impacted by trauma.
Too often, educators are taught to respond to challenging behavior with control, compliance, and consequences. Dr. Mabry invites a different approach. One rooted in understanding how trauma affects the brain, learning, and relationships, and how educators can move from reactive discipline to restorative, student-centered practices.
Drawing from real-world experience working with underserved youth, homeschool families, and community-based education models, this book bridges research, lived experience, and practical application. Readers will learn how trauma shows up in learning environments, why traditional classroom management often fails vulnerable students, and how to create spaces where safety, belonging, and growth are possible.

How trauma impacts behavior, learning, and emotional regulation
Why punishment-based discipline can retraumatize students
Practical strategies for building emotionally safe learning environments
Trauma-informed approaches for homeschool cooperatives and microschools

Shifting Who Teaches and How Learning Happens
Education is no longer confined to four walls, a bell schedule, and a standardized script. We are living in a new learning landscape where flexibility, personalization, and emotional safety are no longer luxuries but necessities. Families are questioning traditional systems. Educators are navigating burnout. Students are carrying visible and invisible burdens into classrooms every day. This chapter explores the structural and cultural shifts redefining how learning happens. Technology has expanded access, but it has also exposed gaps in equity and engagement. Mental health challenges among youth are rising. Teachers are being asked to manage academic instruction alongside emotional regulation and crisis response. The old model of compliance-based learning is cracking under the weight of modern realities. The new landscape requires a different lens. Trauma-informed practice is not a trend. It is a recalibration of how we view behavior, capacity, and accountability. Instead of asking, “What is wrong with this student?” we begin asking, “What has this student experienced?” Instead of reacting, we learn to regulate. Instead of control, we build connection. This chapter invites educators, leaders, and families to understand that transformation begins with awareness. When we recognize that the learning environment has changed, we can design systems that respond with dignity. The future of education belongs to those willing to shift from reaction to restoration.

Scaling Your Homeschool Business
Scaling a homeschool business is not about adding more students as fast as possible. It is about strengthening the structure so growth does not fracture the mission. Many founders start with heart, skill, and proximity. They know every family personally. But scaling requires a shift from being the teacher in the room to becoming the architect of the system. The first step is clarity. What is your core model? Is it curriculum delivery, cooperative facilitation, licensing, intervention services, or advisory support? If you cannot explain your model in one clean paragraph, you cannot scale it. The second step is systems. Document enrollment workflows, parent onboarding, curriculum pacing guides, communication protocols, and assessment cycles. If it lives only in your head, it cannot multiply. Standard operating procedures are not corporate coldness. They are protection for your energy. Third is capacity alignment. Growth without staffing strategy leads to burnout. Determine your student-to-facilitator ratio, technology infrastructure needs, and administrative support thresholds before you add new cohorts. Fourth is revenue layering. Consider diversified income streams such as digital resources, licensing, group coaching, or partnerships. This reduces dependency on one enrollment cycle. Finally, protect culture. As you grow, your founding values must be written, modeled, and reinforced. Scaling should amplify your mission, not dilute it. Sustainable scaling is not about getting bigger. It is about becoming structurally strong enough that the impact can expand without costing you your peace.
