Praise for Jennifer
“Jennifer is one of the most actively engaged thought partners we have ever had the pleasure to work with: she asked all the right questions before and during the visit to tailor her work to our school context. During her three days on site, she skillfully guided our middle and senior leadership through structures for having hard conversations with an engaging presence that made time fly. We have already been well-equipped to use Jennifer’s practical strategies until she returns in the spring to continue the work.”
