Kristine Blau

Special Education Teacher in the Learning Center, grades 4-6

Hi! My name is Ms. Blau, and this is my second year teaching in the Learning Center! I bring almost 15 years of ABA experience to the classroom, including 6 years as a Registered Behavior Technician.

I earned my B.A. in English from Montclair State University. I am certified in Elementary Education (K–6) and English (K–12). I earned my M.A. in Special Education from Ramapo College and hold a Teacher of Students with Disabilities (TOSD) certification.

I believe in creating a positive, supportive, and engaging learning environment. Not everyone learns the same way. I like to go outside typical traditional teaching to help each student learn and thrive. I encourage independence, and I try to prepare my students for the world.

When I am not in the classroom, you will most likely find me near water. I love paddle boarding and kayaking locally, but the beach is my far-away happy place. I also try to spend as much time with my three grown children and my new grandson as possible.
