Know Your Identity
April 13, 2022
Read Jennifer's latest as a featured columnist for TIE (The International Educator), where she writes about the importance of knowing yourself.
Excerpt:
Knowing yourself takes work – and it’s worth it. As I mentioned in my last article, There Is an “I” In Team – Being a Better Team Player, my focus in my work is around adult to adult communication in schools. How do we stretch ourselves at our learning edges to become our best adult selves at school? How do we communicate well with one another in service of our students?

Praise for Jennifer
“Jennifer has so squarely hit the mark with our teacher-leaders that she is one of the few presenters that they are always requesting when professional development is the question. Here at the University of Chicago, this acclaim and recognition does not come easily! Jennifer has a way of presenting information that gets quickly to the heart of the matter. Her ability to read the true needs of the group, regardless of the original focus, has made her a favorite among the faculty here at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools.”
