Rebecca Wessinger
@rebeccawessinger
I build supportive learning environments and strong client relationships through structured coaching, education, and individualized support.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered ABA-aligned instruction through Amergis Educational Staffing, creating adaptive lesson plans and structured supports that help students progress and build self-advocacy.
Across Roanoke County Public Schools, I've taught kindergarten, served as an educator, coach, and substitute teacher, and supported foundational literacy, numeracy, social-emotional development, and safe classroom routines.
My coaching experience includes leading boys tennis, girls track and field, and high school track and field programs. I've organized practices, guided athlete development, communicated with parents, managed programming, and supported fundraising.
Earlier, I managed and coached more than 20 instructors in health, wellness, and corporate fitness, delivering group programs, nutrition plans, personalized training, fitness evaluations, and employee wellness seminars. I'm pursuing an M.S. in Special Education and Virginia provisional special education licensure.
