My name is Schuyler Paulson. This is my 11 th year teaching the pre-K KIDS program at James I. Gibson Elementary School. I transitioned from substitute teaching to full-time teaching by going through the ARL program that the district offers and then I attended UNLV to earn my Master’s Degree in Autism. I foster the belief that all children have the ability to learn and be independent! I focus on teaching the children in my class the learning to learn skills that will need to be successful in the classroom as well as working on acquiring language and functional communication skills. I look forward to a fun year with lots of growth for each child in my class. When I am not in the classroom, I love spending time with my family, cooking, reading, going to the beach and watching any show on BRAVO! Welcome to our Gibson Goldminer family!

My name is Kehaulani Richardson. I am a proud graduate of Argosy University having earned my Bachelor's degree in Business Management, my Master’s degree in Management, and a Master’s degree in Special Education: Autism. This is my 6th year teaching in a classroom but my 16th year working with children on the Autism spectrum. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family and going to the gym. I believe that all children are able and are motivated to learn. My main goal is to help your child access curriculum and skills to become an independent and lifelong learner. To reach this goal, I will look at each child as an individual learner, planning very carefully so that your child can feel challenged without unnecessary frustration. Another goal I have is to teach children that their best efforts are essential to completing a task. I want your child to develop and maintain an “I can and will try” attitude. I feel this attitude enables life-long success. You can feel confident that your child will be safe and surrounded by a loving and nurturing environment. I look forward to a successful school year.

Hi, I am an Exchange Teacher from the Philippines with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Special Education. Before joining CCSD, I worked as a Special Education Teacher, Clinician, and Assessor in the Philippines. I am now in my fourth year as a Primary Autism program at CCSD. One of the most memorable chapters of my teaching journey was working with a Non-Government Organization that served students with ADHD, Dyslexia, and Autism. Seeing my students graduate and thrive in their careers continues to fuel my passion for supporting students with disabilities. I firmly believe that all students can achieve their goals with the right support from their community. As an Exchange Teacher, I enjoy sharing my culture at Gibson Elementary School and collaborating with its wonderful staff, students, and families. Outside of teaching, I love exploring new places, watching shows, trying out fun activities, and indulging in good food!

Hello everyone! This will be my 9th year in the exciting field of education, where I've had the pleasure of working with students of all ages and abilities! Growing up on the east coast, I spent my earlier years (many off days during elementary- high school) at the Brooklyn Public Library, where my mom was a children's librarian. I loved assisting with all the programs there, including the story time and art classes, RIF program, and summer reading programs, which were always a blast!! I attended St. John's University in Queens, New York with a science background, but gradually made my way back to work with children in education, where I've taught in Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, and now here in Nevada, where I am thrilled to help the most amazing kids reach their goals. I believe that learning should be both engaging and enjoyable, and I am dedicated to creating a unique and supportive learning environment where my students can truly thrive. I'm looking forward to an amazing year of learning!! In my spare time I enjoy exploring the world, volunteering with rescued animals/ related causes, and reading just about anything and everything.
