Your General Ed Teachers Want to Include Everyone. They Just Don’t Know How Yet.
Most general ed teachers genuinely want every student to succeed. But inclusive classrooms require skills that most teachers were never taught differentiation, co-teaching, engagement strategies for neurodiverse learners, behavior support that isn’t just discipline.
Inclusive Teaching Essentials gives your whole teaching staff exactly those skills. Seven focused sessions, immediately applicable, built for the reality of today’s general education classrooms.
Who’s behind it
Created by the Two Most Recognized Names in Inclusive Education
Dr. Julie Causton and Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak have spent their careers studying what actually works in inclusive classrooms, and training the educators who teach in them.
Between them: 40+ peer-reviewed research articles, more than a dozen books, and professional development delivered in hundreds of districts across the U.S. and around the world.
- 40+ peer-reviewed research articles
- Trusted by 400+ districts nationwide
- 100,000+ combined hours of research, teaching, and PD
When Julie and Kristie say something works in a general ed classroom, it’s because they’ve spent careers proving it.
Sound familiar?
What General Ed Teachers Are Up Against
Students with diverse needs in their classroom — and no training for how to reach them
Co-teaching partnerships where one teacher teaches and one watches
Lectures and worksheets that work for some students and leave others behind
Behavior challenges they weren't prepared for and don't know how to respond to
The belief that inclusion is someone else's job — not theirs
It’s not a motivation problem. It’s a training gap.
Inclusive Teaching Essentials closes it.
