For years, SPED students were pulled out for support. But Amanda Unruh and her team at Boyd Elementary flipped the script—pushing in instead, co-teaching across grade levels, and seeing real transformation.

 

In this episode, Amanda shares how her campus went from isolated interventions to fully integrated inclusion—building confidence, raising expectations, and giving paraeducators the training and status they deserve. With practical strategies and real data wins, this is a blueprint for how collaboration can change everything.

 

If you’ve ever wondered whether inclusion works, Amanda’s answer is a resounding yes—with a roadmap to back it up.
