Mr. Justin Kinder » PATH Program--Special Education Teacher

PATH Program--Special Education Teacher

I am excited to be a part of the PATH program this year. I am looking forward to teaching life skills in the classroom and as we visit different places in our community. 

 I have been married to my wife, Carmen, for 21 years and we have two children--Melody and Jadon.  We have been living in the Diamond/Coal City area for the last twelve years and we love being involved in the community and in the Coal City School District. 

I have been in the education field collectively for twenty-three years where I have served as a substitute teacher, teacher assistant, vocational coach and special education teacher. Almost all of my experience has been in the Special Education field.  Several years ago, I went through the teacher-ready program through the University of West Florida to receive my LBS-1 certification.  I am looking forward to a great year. Go Coalers!
