Kirstie Wheeler

Kirstie Wheeler is an educational consultant in the New England area and an associate professor at Berklee College of Music. She has a strong background in education where she spent 10-plus years in a diverse set of public schools in the northeast, eventually leading her to consultant-based roles in K-12 education while working in higher education. Wheeler feels strongly that all children need access to an equitable education and that all teachers and faculty need to be supported in order to reach this goal. As a consultant, she is currently working as an intervention coordinator at an independent school in Maine using data to inform instruction and identify students who need additional support. She recently guided the school through the process of developing school-wide goals in social emotional learning, classroom executive functioning and study skills, and technology. This work led to the opening of the school’s first Achievement Center and several professional development offerings for faculty and staff throughout the year. At Berklee College of Music, Wheeler has created a new course in wellness for the holistic musician.

As a performer, she sings with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, chorus to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Pops. Wheeler is a certified McClosky Voice Technician, using her knowledge of vocal physiology and pedagogy to prepare students for a lifetime of healthy singing.
