Nicole Harrison
Special Education Teacher
Barry Elementary
Hello, my name is Nicole Harrison and I am excited to be working at Barry Elementary as a special education teacher. I graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in elementary education. In May 2018, I completed my master’s in language and literacy with a Reading Specialist certification from Park University. During this time, I also had the opportunity to become trained and certified in Orton-Gillingham to help students with dyslexia using multi-sensory phonics-based instruction. Teaching children to read using multi-sensory instruction has truly become my passion.
I have two daughters, Ellie (15) and Claire (13), who both go to school in the North Kansas City School District and a three year old bernedoodle named Lucky. Last September, I purchased a home in the Gladstone area, so I spend a lot of my free time doing projects around the house or in the yard.
