Kimberly Gregory, Program Specialist
kimberly.gregory@mresa.org

Teaching diverse learners requires adults to provide access to equitable resources and materials that will enable optimal opportunities for learning. Over twenty plus years, I have dedicated my career to providing specialized instruction to meet the needs of varied learners. My experiences have spanned across three states, but they have unified me in the belief that all children will learn when their needs are met.

My leadership experience in program initiatives for elementary and secondary schools will prove to be an asset in this position. I have worked closely with educators and administrators to develop behavioral programs that will allow for students receiving services under the Student Support Team and the In-School Team to optimize their learning environment. My experience in identifying individual student needs and a strong focus on instructional strategies, have made my students and adult learners successful during classroom instruction, achievement assessments, and daily care of  diverse learners.
