Our World School Staff

---

Hi. My name is Kimberly Walden and I am honored to have accepted the role as the new Educational Director at Our World School. 

Upon graduating from Newton County High School, I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Emory University. Discovering that my calling was actually to become a special education teacher, I obtained my Teaching Certification from the University of Georgia. Later, I obtained my Master’s Degree in Special Education from Walden University. 

For the past sixteen years, I have served as a Special Education Teacher for the Newton County School System. Fourteen of those years, I taught in a Moderately Intellectually Disabled Self-Contained classroom. For one of those years, I served as a Special Education CoTeacher in the General Education classroom and, most recently, taught in a Special Education Resource setting. In 2012, I was honored to be chosen by my colleagues as our school’s Teacher of the Year. I was then selected as a Finalist for the Newton County Teacher of the Year.

I am a wife and a mother of three children, ages six, five, and three. I am also blessed to be a special needs parent. In my free time, I enjoy fishing, camping, and spending time with my family.

I look forward to working with the staff, parents, and scholars at Our World School. As a collaborative and cooperative team, I know that our scholars will rise to their fullest potential and beyond.
