RAMP honors schools that deliver comprehensive, data-driven school counseling programs aligned with the ASCA National Model. Joining the conversation are RAMP recipients Summer Davis (Grand Bay Middle School, AL), Nicole Moody (Sycamore Elementary, GA), and Mirna DeLeon (Upland Unified School District, CA). They share their firsthand experiences with the RAMP application process, offer practical strategies, and reflect on the power of collaboration, stakeholder engagement, and strong organization. Plus, they offer valuable advice for schools aspiring to earn the RAMP distinction—and insight into how the process transformed their counseling programs. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/i-hear-you-say-233128/episodes/inside-ramp-behind-the-ramp-distinction-insights-impact-and-inspiration/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/i-hear-you-say-233128/inside-ramp-behind-the-ramp-distinction-insights-impact-and-inspiration.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
