Biography

Sara Scribner, PhD, is a former inclusive special education teacher with a passion for creating more than just educational experiences for all students, including students with disabilities. 
As a public-school teacher, she co-taught across a variety of grade levels for students with complex support needs. Her research interests include inclusive best practices (UDL, Differentiation, meaningful assessment practices, co-teaching), strategies specific to supporting learners with autism in the classroom, and supporting students with behaviors labeled as "challenging" in schools. 
Sara loves to work with pre-service and in-service teachers to think about how we can create better outcomes for disabled learners in public school classrooms. Alongside her work with educators, she also collaborates with families and/or school districts to evaluate current special education services and provide recommendations for ways to create more inclusive learning environments.   

When not working, she loves to spend time outside: hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking, snowshoeing and many other activities, usually with her dogs.​
