K Elston

As a Teacher-Admin/Case Manager, I provide instruction across various subjects, fostering critical thinking and skill development. I design and deliver engaging lessons, assess student progress, and support both academic and personal growth. In my case management role, I assist students in navigating complex systems, securing necessary services, and achieving their individual goals.

This includes creating personalized plans, coordinating resources, and offering academic management support to teachers as a coach. I also manage Educational Assistants (EAs) and Behavior Interventionists (BIs). Additionally, I oversee background investigations and security adjudications, review completed investigations and fingerprint submissions, and assess potential falsification risks in personnel appointments.

I draft Proposed Action Letters, testify at hearings, and ensure all actions comply with legal and regulatory standards.
