Carrie Albert, MEd
I hold a Master's Degree in Education and have over 30 years of hands-on experience in Special Education, helping students achieve their educational goals. My extensive background includes co-teaching and collaborative teaching, where I develop and implement strategies for instruction in inclusive settings, focusing on IEPs (Individual Education Plans) and FBAs (Functional Behavioral Assessments).
I specialize in behavior management and social skills development for students with Emotional Disturbances and Autism. I am skilled in writing and implementing IEPs and other Special Education documents. My experience also equips me to understand students' educational needs and facilitate meetings with parents and outside agencies for effective collaboration.
On a personal note, I am a wife and a mother of two teenage boys who attend Mount Lebanon High School. I enjoy cooking, sports, and coaching, and I am passionate about teaching children and helping parents understand their educational rights.
High School Helpers: PreK-8 Academic Support and Social Skills Groups
My Mount Lebanon High School Helpers Program connects enthusiastic high school students with PreK-8 learners to provide academic support and foster social skills development. These dedicated helpers act as mentors, much like big brothers and sisters, offering personalized assistance in subjects like math, reading, and writing while also facilitating engaging social groups.
Through fun activities and structured interactions, our high schoolers help younger students build confidence, improve communication skills, and develop lasting friendships. This program not only enhances academic understanding but also promotes important life skills, ensuring a positive and enriching experience for everyone involved. Join us in creating a supportive and encouraging environment for all students!

About Kara
I have spent much of my life working with both dogs and children, gaining a diverse set of experiences along the way. In the realm of animal care, I have worked as a veterinary technician, managed a kennel at a humane society, and trained dogs in various settings.
When it comes to children, my background includes a range of college courses, babysitting, managing summer camps, and teaching both dog training and soccer. My passion for supporting others' growth and my ability to manage tasks efficiently are key elements of my approach to teaching. I am committed to creating a positive, nurturing, and supportive learning environment for both students and teachers.
What makes kids so special to me? Their unique character strengths and their ability to express their individuality in the world.
