Exceptional Children staff:

Kelsey Goss - EC teacher 236-9441 ext 467

I began teaching in 1997 in Brooklyn, New York.  I received my BA from Wesleyan University and my MS in Special Education from Bank Street College.  In addition to my experience as a special education teacher, I have experience as a general education teacher and reading specialist. I moved to Asheville in 2007 and began teaching at FDNSC in 2008. 

 Nathan Zumwalt

A graduate of Rice University, I began teaching in 2004 with Project SOAR.  I taught academics while students traveled the coastline of the Southeastern US and Belize.  In 2006, I taught at a day treatment program for struggling adolescents, and was subsequently hired to create and run an academic curriculum at Eliada Homes for Children.  The successful program became a model for four additional facilities, blending treatment with highly individualized academics. In 2008 Eliada received SACCS accreditation, and I began a volunteer project connecting talents from the community with troubled youth.  Mathematics became my primary subject, teaching 6th grade through Geometry.  In 2009, I started the alternative placement classroom at Francine Delany, supporting the middle school grades.  In 2010, I will be offering Algebra1 to our 8th grade, floating rivers, and climbing rocks.  I am happy to be part of the supportive community here at FDNSC.
