What if inclusive education wasn’t something we struggled to retrofit—but something we built for from the start?

Welcome to the Ashmont Learning Collective Podcast, where we’re redesigning what’s possible in schools by centering equity, practicality, and purpose in every conversation. In this short teaser episode, host Ashley Henderson introduces what this podcast is really about: cutting through the noise and getting honest about what it takes to create inclusive classrooms—especially in secondary schools—where all students, including those with disabilities, can thrive.

This isn’t another edu-podcast full of vague ideas and surface-level strategies. The Ashmont Learning Collective is rooted in the real work of educators—lesson planning, behavior support, progress monitoring, tough conversations, and the systems that hold it all together (or don’t). And this show? It’s where we talk about it all.

Ashley shares:

• What led her to start the Ashmont Learning Collective
• Why inclusive education still feels out of reach in many schools—and why that needs to change
• Who this podcast is for (Hint: If you care about kids, you belong here)
• What kinds of episodes to expect: stories, strategies, frameworks, and real talk from the field

Whether you're a teacher, admin, coach, or advocate—you’ll leave this teaser ready to reimagine what’s possible for your students and your team.

🎙️ This is a podcast for people who believe:

• Inclusion isn't optional.
• Educators deserve better tools and better training.
• We can teach in ways that serve all students—without burning out.

If that sounds like your kind of conversation, you’re in the right place.

Hit follow, share with someone who’s ready to shake things up, and get ready to join a community of educators who are learning, growing, and building something better—together.
