What if your general education teachers were your best inclusion advocates? In this episode of Brighter Together, we explore a full inclusion model that's worked for over two decades. From peer-to-peer leadership classes to the unseen emotional impact of the pandemic on young learners, this conversation dives into the real-life strategies that make schools more humane, supportive, and effective. We talk behavioral challenges, post-pandemic trauma, and what it actually takes to build collaborative support between SPED and gen ed teams. For any school leader wondering how to keep their staff supported while championing inclusion—this is your blueprint.
