What Inclusive Schooling does

Inclusive Schooling (legally Inspire Inclusion, LLC) is a US-based professional learning company founded in 2012 by Dr. Julie Causton, CEO and former tenured professor at Syracuse University, and co-founded by Dr. Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, former tenured professor at Kent State University. The company delivers on-demand video-based professional development to K-12 and early childhood educators and administrators, with content co-taught by the two founders in every session. Its product suite comprises six core offerings (Inclusion-Bytes, Behavior 360, Para-Bytes, General Education Inclusive Teaching Essentials, Circles From the Start, and Leadership-Bytes) covering general education teachers, paraprofessionals, early childhood educators, administrators, and families, supported by facilitator guides, quizzes, downloadable tools, The Inclusion Podcast, monthly free resources, free workshops, a blog, and over 12 published books.

The business is built around a web-based professional learning platform that delivers closed-captioned video content, downloadable handouts, audio files, and reflection prompts through a password-protected district dashboard accessible on any device. Inclusive Schooling monetizes through flat district-wide subscription licenses priced by student enrollment tiers (ranging from $500 to $9,500 per product per year), custom virtual professional development and keynotes delivered via Zoom, and book sales distributed through Amazon, Brookes Publishing, and ASCD. Family resources and free workshops serve as freemium demand-generation channels. The company reports being trusted by 400+ districts nationwide and has delivered 100,000+ hours of professional development, operating with a lean team of 5 including the two founders and outsourced contractors.

The go-to-market blends enterprise field sales (Request Pricing forms, Calendly discovery calls, customized quotes for districts) with a product-led self-serve option for on-demand licenses. Primary buyers are Directors of Special Education, Superintendents, Principals, and other school administrators in US public K-12 districts. The company has no external funding, operates as a privately held LLC wholly owned and controlled by its founders, and has expanded adjacent channels (podcast, blog, books, family resources) without material headcount growth.

• National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD): Advocacy and resource organization providing PD and tools to educators and families on inclusion and disability supports. Comparable audience and content adjacency though non-profit in structure.
• Understood: Non-profit producing resources and learning content for families and educators supporting students with learning differences and disabilities. Overlaps with Inclusive Schooling's family resource stream and inclusive practices content.
