About Jon

It is a great pleasure to be in my third year as the Special Education teacher and Case Manager in grades 4-6 at Oak Grove. I have come to truly treasure the community of students, families and teachers at Oak Grove who have welcomed me so warmly. My wife Cameron and I moved to Brattleboro in the summer of 2011, and purchased a home in Bernardston, MA in the Spring of 2013.  We welcomed our daughter Winslow into the family in October.  Before settling in the field of Special Education, I studied History and Italian at Kenyon College in Ohio, and spent a few years as a working artist in Northeastern Vermont, while teaching drawing and woodworking at the Putney School during the summers. In 2009, I enrolled in the graduate program in Special Education at the University of Vermont, and earned my Master's Degree in 2011. I have a great appreciation for the many strengths and challenges that all students experience in and out of school, and I relish the chance to work with a variety of learners. There truly are no two learners alike! While I work closely with only some families, I do consider myself as a resource available to all members of the Oak Grove family, so please feel free to contact me at anytime. - Jon_Sessions@wsesu.org
