    Praise for Jennifer

    “I don’t post often. A lot of PD can be just talk. This was different. Jennifer Abrams was excellent. Her insights were relatable, her suggestions were valuable. I came out of this workshop feeling stronger and more respectful of myself as a professional. We need more of this as educators.”
