A note from Jen. . .

I have spent over 20 years in public education, first as an English teacher and high school speech coach, then as a reading intervention specialist and literacy coordinator at a high performing high school in the Midwest.  I have also been a Teaching and Learning Coordinator leading 6-12 English/Language Arts, Literacy, Social Studies and our district’s English Learner programming.  I am currently a Director of Professional Learning with Mackin Educational Resources and I have the privilege of partnering with passionate educators and leaders across the nation to unleash the gifts and strengths of the learners in their organization.  As a successful educator, coach, and national trainer I promise to teach, motivate, and inspire educators in my on-site school workshops, virtual webinars, and school district keynotes. Please contact me today to find out more.

Testimonials

Accolades About My Presentation!

This was by far the best PD I’ve received in my 11 years here. Exciting and overwhelming at the same time but definitely reinforces a lot of the ideas we have been trying to promote at our school for the last couple years. Jen, you are amazing! Thanks!

This has been one of the best workshops I’ve attended.  I hope we can continue to have high quality PD in the future.  Thanks Jen!
