DON'T JUST TAKE OUR
WORD FOR IT…
Julie and Kristie, we kicked off our school year with Inclusion-Bytes. Our staff was beyond excited about the efficient format and useful dashboard full of resources. And they voted to use their PLC time to dive into the content…one "byte" at a time. I haven't seen this type of enthusiasm from our crew-especially about PD 😉 We are delighted!"
– Superintendent, WA
"Our Inclusion Assistants (paras) have been loving the format, as they complete one byte a week in a PLC. Their enthusiasm spread, and they were asked to present to the elementary school teaching assistants. It offered them not just the opportunity to share what they had learned, but also an opportunity to lead which was so empowering. We are also starting to see the impact, where Inclusion Assistants are taking on more agency with their students and making informed decisions leading to more inclusive environments."
– Director of Student Support Services
"I had been told my child needed a distraction free environment- and I believed it. Julie was an expert on our team and helped me to see that the special education classroom was VERY distracting. The general education classroom turned out to be the best place for him to learn. He made gains in reading, math and social skills that we never expected."
– Janet
"Our Inclusion Assistants (paraprofessionals) have been meeting weekly in PLCs since January using the Para-bytes modules from Inclusive Schooling. We love that the format gives teams choice as well as being condensed enough to fit into busy daily schedules. It's having a big impact for us and our students."

"These two are a great team!!! They work so well together and they make the training fun. Humor and relating to us is the best thing!!! Great job!!!!"
– Administrator
"Thanks Julie and Kristie - To open us to a new culture of This has been one of the best PDs."
– Administrator
"Kristie and Julie have a respectful approach when supporting change. Even though it was virtual, my educators reported they felt seen and supported in their concerns. It so far, is one of the most amazing and beneficial professional learning opportunities that I have ever experienced!"
– Principal, MD
"The most rewarding, amazingly resourceful, and the best professional development we've ever had."
– School District Administrator
"The chair of the IEP meeting said, 'We have reached a standstill…' She looked at us and said, 'Unless you have any ideas, I don't think we can make this happen this year.' I got out that list that Julie gave us and said… 'I do have several ideas about HOW to make this happen.' At first you could have heard a pin drop, and then the team rolled up their sleeves and began to brainstorm… using the list. It became a question of HOW, not IF…. Thank you for these resources!"
– Alex
"Kristie and their team helped me see that the practices best for our kids are actually just the practices that are best for humans. That means honoring the adult learner, the learner of color, or the learner with a disability, or whatever learners you have before you. As I felt honored and seen throughout this experience, I was able to fully engage in my learning and prepare for a virtual school year by creating a space where all my learners feel seen, loved, and like they belong. Thank you!"
– Educator
"THE BEST PD EVER!"
– Administrator

– Sheryl Zellis, Ambler, PA
"Started and ended the day in tears!!! Awesome day!"
– Educator
"I want our whole district to hear this message and have your resources. Thank you so much. I'll do what I can do to be part of this change."
– Administrator
"She worked with our school team. They learned SO much from her. At first, they kind of looked at her with arms crossed… then they realized her knowledge of special education is unmatched! They now love when she comes and problem solves with them!"
– Michelle
"Excellent videos and resources."
– Educator
"The resources alone are priceless."
– Administrator

Common Misconceptions
“Students with disabilities in inclusive settings
won't develop necessary life skills.”
“Inclusion lowers academic standards for all students.”
“All teachers naturally know how to create inclusive environments.”
“Once a school adopts inclusive practices, the work is done.“
“Inclusion is the sole responsibility of special education teachers.”
“Inclusion means every student must achieve the same outcomes.“
“Inclusive education is just a passing trend.“
Fact: Research shows that inclusive practices improve academic and social outcomes for ALL students.
It’s a lot to navigate…
But you’re not alone on this journey.
As a leader in inclusivity, you’re breaking new ground. You’re making a real difference, creating a culture where every student can thrive.
We’re here to help. Inclusive Schooling offers the training, resources, and support you need to keep moving forward.
