Regan Weiss
@reganweiss
Experienced education leader driving student outcomes, staff development, and operational compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am an education leader with hands-on classroom experience and a track record of improving student outcomes and operational efficiency. I have designed and delivered lesson plans across early childhood and elementary grades, raising engagement and standardized learning outcomes.
As Director of Education, I supervised and supported a team of 30 teachers and support staff, improved retention through coaching and professional development, and maintained full compliance with licensing inspections. In classroom and substitute roles I increased engagement, participation, and understanding rates through differentiated instruction and classroom management.
I pair instructional expertise with strong administrative and technical skills — building digital recordkeeping systems, automating spreadsheets, and troubleshooting Google Workspace — to improve data access, reduce downtime, and support program operations across multiple sites.
