For over 20 years, Ginny Howard’s passion has been in early childhood education. She worked in a metro-area school as a Pre-K teacher for 12 years and four years as an ECSE teacher & program coordinator in a smaller Nebraska school district. In 2016, she left the classroom and began coaching and training on the Pyramid Model in public schools, Head Starts, and community child care programs. During this time, she also was a consultant for Verbal Behavior for the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) Network of Nebraska. Ginny began working at the Nebraska Department of Education as an Early Childhood Special Education Specialist in 2020. Ginny works to support professionals in improving child outcomes for infants, toddlers, and children with disabilities in Nebraska, as well as supporting districts in making decisions, based on regulations, for preschoolers with disabilities.
