About Regan Hall EDU

Regan Hall was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. She graduated from the University of New Mexico with a double major BS in Sign Language Interpreting and American Studies. She went on to earn her K-8 general education teaching credentials from UNM in 1998. 

After moving to Massachusetts and teaching elementary general education for several years, Ms Hall earned her Masters in Education in Reading and Language from the University of Massachusetts–Lowell in 2008. Since then, Ms Hall’s continuing education and professional development opportunities have primarily been centered around teaching students with disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and other neurobiological disabilities. 

Ms Hall taught the general education side of inclusion classes throughout this portion of her career in several schools in western Massachusetts. Then, from 2008-2012 Regan was the reading specialist and one of the founding members of the intervention team for Pioneer Valley Chinese Immersion School in Hadley, MA. 

2012-2019, Regan focused on the early intervention needs of her youngest daughter, as well as early childhood education. Disability advocacy and LGBTQIA rights were also a major portion of her time commitment during these years and continue to be a vital portion of her personal life. 

In 2019, Ms Hall began teaching special education exclusively, spending half-days teaching in an inclusive setting and the other portion of the day providing small group service to students in Greenfield, MA. Regan was co-teaching at this time and it was her plan to return to reading intervention, but COVID had other plans. From March 2020 to April 2021,  ensuring that all students were receiving and engaged in an excellent education during the COVID shutdown was Ms. Hall’s primary focus. However, as an instructional leader in the school, Regan prompted educational leadership to examine policies and procedures from the perspective of racial equalty, and joined a small group of adult learners committed to anti-racist education to take coursework to help develop anti-racist education in the public schools in Greenfield, MA.

Ms Hall returned to New Mexico in December of 2021 and is currently the lead teacher and case manager of a substantially separate classroom of students with significant support requirements. Plans are in the works to increase inclusion opportunities in the months and years to come.
