Pandemic pivots and Co-creation

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jen is a local here in Atlanta (an "ATLien") where she is on a mission to make education humanizing and equitable for ALL learners. Shortly after earning her BS.Ed. at UGA, Jen’s fire for student-centered learning was ignited on a year-long adventure in New Zealand.  There she taught in a progressive public charter school, trained in student-directed and inquiry-based learning strategies, and began partnering with students to help them take ownership of their educational journeys. She brought those learnings back to the US where she helped found and later led a small private school to meet the needs of neurodiverse students in innovative ways.  As her passion for both leadership and educational equity grew, she went on to earn a M.Ed. in Urban Teacher Leadership and an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership from Georgia State University.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After a decade of teaching, coaching educators, and leading in both the private and public school sectors, Jen recently took the leap into her latest endeavor as a Co-Creator, aspiring to close equity gaps in the classroom by making great professional development more accessible for all educators. Co-CreatED.org is the first marketplace platform in the PD industry, connecting school leaders directly with professional development providers, so they can easily book the trainings their teachers need.</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <h2><strong>Show Highlights</strong></h2> <p> </p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Educator activism is embed into the fabric of what you do </span></strong></li> </ul> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thrive in adversity with the pandemic pivot </span></li> </ul> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make high quality education a reality with a Trust License</span></li> </ul> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The BIG building questions you need to ask to move progress forward.</span></li>
