Educational Disobedience: A Mom Who Became a Movement

Educational Disobedience is an inspiring, award-winning memoir by Dr. Annise Mabry, a mother-turned-educational-revolutionary who dared to challenge the status quo of traditional schooling. Driven by her personal experience as the parent of children left behind by rigid educational systems, Dr. Mabry reveals the systemic failures that disproportionately affect marginalized students—particularly homeless youth, LGBTQ individuals, and trauma survivors.

Through her poignant storytelling, Dr. Mabry chronicles her journey from battling for her own children’s educational rights to founding the Tiers Free Homeschool Cooperative, a groundbreaking program that has empowered over 1,000 students to achieve high school diplomas. Her approach to education prioritizes trauma-informed practices, individualized learning paths, and unwavering advocacy for underserved communities.

This book is more than a memoir; it’s a call to action. Dr. Mabry sheds light on the barriers created by traditional education systems while offering solutions that inspire hope and change. Her unapologetic stance on “disobedience” as a tool for dismantling inequitable systems challenges readers to reconsider what it means to truly educate and empower.

A #1 Amazon bestseller and nominee for the 2024 Bookfest Awards, Educational Disobedience is a must-read for educators, parents, and anyone passionate about social justice. With its blend of heart, tenacity, and actionable insights, the book serves as a blueprint for creating a more inclusive and equitable educational future.
