Becky Knowles

Aloha, I am Becky Knowles. I have been in education for over 25 years. I started in Elementary Education. Then, I received my Special Education Certification. I have a master’s in Psychology in Applied Behavior Analysis. I have taught from birth to 12th grade. Both general and special education. 

I was trained in Orton-Gillingham (multi-sensory language) instruction by one of the top trainers in the world. For the last 7 years, I have been Special Education Director, 2 years in Utah and 5 years in Hawaii. I returned to Utah in June of 2023 and have been working in Early Intervention helping parents and children from birth to 3 years old. I love helping children succeed. 

One of the important parts of helping children to succeed is getting them the correct support. I am committed to helping with that. I am trained in all aspects of educational testing. I am experienced in writing, reading and  interpreting evaluations. I am excited to join the Elizabeth Academy Team.

Hear From Our Community

I especially appreciate the school’s focus on the whole child, which includes social skills development, in vivo problem-solving, community and service experiences, the arts, and practical living skills among so many other things! Most importantly, our children LOVE their school and literally gush about it anytime someone asks them.

Words cannot express the respect and gratitude I have for Elizabeth Academy. Our children’s experience (six years thus far) at both schools has been outstanding.

Our girls have attended Elizabeth Academy for six years now, and we can’t imagine sending them anywhere else for school. The individual attention and caring, collaborative environment at EA have been so good for both of them and we love the holistic Montessori approach to education. We also greatly appreciate all the efforts of the administration and teachers to provide our girls the ability to go to school safely during the pandemic. It has been a lifesaver for our family.
