Planning for Student Supports in the Classroom

This week Terri & Nicole will talk to guest, Paula S. Lieb, Esq., about planning "Just Right" supports for students in the inclusive class. It is important to balance the needs of special needs students with just the right amount of support in order to succeed.

Paula is a returning guest and is the President and CEO the New Jersey Coalition (NJCIE) for Inclusive Education, a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit organization which acts as a statewide catalyst for creating, enhancing, and promoting inclusive schools and communities. 

Paula obtained her law degree from Seton Hall in 1993 following a career as a secondary school social studies teacher.  She concentrated in the area of special education law prior to taking her present position as the President and CEO of NJCIE in 2003.

In addition to leading the agency, Paula provides training and consultation on inclusive education to schools and parent groups throughout the state.  She is a member of statewide committees, task forces and university advisory committees on inclusion.  Paula has two grown daughters (Diane, an attorney in Seattle and Amy, a teacher in Connecticut) and five grandchildren.  She and her husband Jim live in East Brunswick.
