Alissa Cappelleri, MAT serves as the Learning and Development Coordinator for New Frontiers Executive Function Coaching. She supports successful coaches through the design and implementation of high-level training programs. Rooting processes in best instructional practices and behavior modification strategies, Alissa takes a comprehensive approach to professional development.

Alissa graduated from The College of New Jersey with a Master of Arts in Teaching in the field of Special Education with a concentration in Emotional and Behavioral Challenges. Her graduate work took her to the Espoo International School in Finland to explore inquiry-based instruction and learner-centered approaches to teaching students of all abilities. As a certified Special Education teacher in the state of New Jersey, she has had many experiences in a wide variety of learning environments and is deeply dedicated to educating through the fostering of resilience. Realizing that there are many unexplained expectations individuals are held accountable for, Alissa left the traditional classroom to teach generalizable and cross-contextual skills for sustainable success at any age.

Her passion for strengthening executive function skill interventions is evident through the workshops she leads for her team internally and other collaborating organizations. Alissa prides herself in creating strong partnerships with her own clients along with being a sharp second set of eyes as they evaluate their own participation in navigating the world.

When not developing coaching resources and delivering trainings, Alissa can be found reading anything she can get her hands on, improving her watercolor painting skills, and having many one-sided conversations with the dog.
