Meet Kimberly Jacobs, Special Educator and intervention specialist
I am a special educator.
I have been in education over 32 years. Fifteen were as a general education teacher in grades three to eight. When I made the move to special education, I found my place.
I believe...
All kids do learn. Everything that was not an instinct when they were born, has been learned. How to communicate, create and where they see themselves in the this world. The key is finding strategies that work for each child.
I am currently...
don't work in your bubble. come and connect with your peeps!
Join our private Facebook community where I show up with tips, support and lesson ideas. Consider it a place for breakroom friendships and PD in our jammies and socks. Yes, socks sound comfy.
Teacher Testimonials
Kimberly has been such a life-saver over the past three years. She has helped me with IEP planning and writing. The first year I reviewed all my IEP baselines, goals and services with her.

She made my first years as a teacher so much better than if I had gone it alone.
