From freshly minted teachers to seasoned administrators, the educators who gathered to hear Jennifer Abrams speak at the Curriculum Breadfast at the SJCOE on January 13 were there to learn how to better work together with colleagues and parents of all ages.
“We’re going to talk about being generationally savvy,” said Abrams during a presentation based on her book “The Multigenerational Workplace: Communicate, Collaborate and Create Community”.

Praise for Jennifer
“Jennifer’s session was not just a workshop, but an invitation to look inward at how we, as adults, show up in our professional roles. She reminded us that hard conversations are not about winning or avoiding conflict, but about cultivating clarity, empathy, and courage.
One of the most powerful takeaways was this: for dialogue to be truly effective, we must learn to communicate with precision while holding space for humanity. Hard conversations should not shut people down; they should open the door to growth-producing feedback that strengthens trust, relationships, and professional practice. My learning experience with Jennifer was a reminder that our impact as educators is amplified when we are willing to pause, reflect, and engage with one another in ways that foster both accountability and compassion.”
