All about Mrs. Kurt

Hi! My name is Lori Kurt, and I am a PK-6 special education instructional coach for Independence Community School District.

I graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in 1998. I taught high school and elementary special education for 6 years before moving with my husband and children to the great state of Iowa!

This is my seventeenth year in the district. Prior to my new position this year I was a K-2 special education teacher at East Elementary for 11 years. My teaching endorsements include: K-8 behavioral disorders, K-8 learning disabilities, K-8 multicategorical special class with integration, and K-8 instructional strategist I: mild/moderate.

I knew at a young age that I wanted to be a teacher because I love working with children and helping them learn!
