This week on Inclusive Collective, Rob and Nadia chat with Melissa Corto, co-founder and CEO of Education Modified (EdMod), a one-stop platform that makes it easy for educators to collaborate around the unique needs of every student. Melissa shares the advice (at times ridiculous!) she received while fundraising, the value she found in accelerator programs and how you don't have to have a business background to achieve success!

About Melissa: Melissa Corto was a special educator in Brooklyn, NYC at a Title I high school for 9 years. She led her school’s inclusion & co-teaching program & served as a Mentor for new special educators. She also was an assistant Varsity Coach for the Girl’s Basketball team for 7 years. Melissa is now the Co-Founder & CEO of Education Modified, an edtech company that uses the latest research & technology to help teachers improve outcomes for students with special needs.

About Education Modified: Unlike compliance systems, EdMod streamlines workflow, saves time & enables all teachers to improve outcomes for students with special needs & learning plans. www.educationmodified.com
