Inclusion-Bytes: Empowering Educators, Transforming Classrooms
As you walk from classroom to classroom, do you see incredible dedication from your educators but still cringe at outdated practices?
Do you notice staff struggling to create inclusive lessons, relying on separate spaces for students with disabilities, or believing that some students “just don’t belong here”?
You feel like a broken record, constantly repeating how inclusion can and should become a reality. You’re overwhelmed by resistance from all directions—staff, families, and even the school board.
You are searching for ways to change your staff’s mindset, heart, and skill set to make your vision of inclusion a reality.
We are here to help.
Our Story
We’re Dr. Julie Causton and Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, and we’ve spent decades traveling, teaching, and reimagining special education. From crowded flights and windowless libraries to echoey gymnasiums and bustling conference rooms, we dedicated ourselves to helping schools become more inclusive.
The work was inspiring—real measurable change happening for students, standing ovations, energizing conversations, and real change happening for teachers. But we knew there had to be a better way.
We realized professional development didn’t need to be confined to in-person sessions or one-time workshops. It needed to meet educators where they were—honoring their diverse needs, respecting their time, and providing solutions at their fingertips.
So we traded our blazers and frequent flyer miles for something bigger: designing on-demand professional development that makes inclusion achievable for every school, every teacher, and every student.
Today, we pour our passion into courses like Inclusion-Bytes, offering educators practical, engaging, and flexible tools to create classrooms where every student belongs.
Imagine Leading a Truly Inclusive School System…
Picture a district where inclusion isn’t a goal—it’s a reality. Close your eyes and feel what that school would look like, sound like, and feel like:
- Everyone understands why inclusive education benefits all students.
- Resource rooms and self-contained spaces are a thing of the past.
- Teachers embrace and differentiate for the wide range of learners in every lesson.
- Behaviors are supported with care and compassion.
- Students with and without disabilities excel academically and socially.
- And YOU have professional development planned for the entire year.
