    From the moment we started working together, it was evident that Jen wasn't just there to offer advice; she was committed to truly understanding the unique needs of our student and crafting tailored programming to ensure their success. Their depth of knowledge in the field allowed us to explore innovative approaches and adapt strategies to suit the individual learning style of our student. I have had great success with the student I have consulted with Jen about. I would highly recommend her consultation services to anyone that feels stuck and needs fresh ideas to help their student be successful.”

    With Jen's support, we have developed a clear vision of what we want to achieve in our school community, and she has assisted us in creating actionable plans to bring that vision to life. Her expertise in designing innovative ideas that build upon what already works using SEE-KS 6 step peer to peer mentorship model has been invaluable.

    I've worked with Jen in a number of roles, over the past decade. The knowledge, skills, and evidence based practices I continue to gain from Jen and the SEE-KS model enable me to better support districts and teams. Jen's knowledge and expertise, coupled with instructional coaching through modeling, help build my capacity as a consultant in pursuit of equitable learning opportunities for ALL. Jen has been one of the most impactful educational leaders in my personal and professional journey!

  • Mallory Beatty - Iowa Educator

    SEE-KS is a total shift in thinking about and reflecting on student engagement and learning. When we see our lessons and activities through a lens of student engagement and what is going right, we learn what really works for our students. Peer mentoring with appreciative inquiry is also a fantastic approach. It allows a peer teacher to help you see so many “wins” that you cannot see for yourself, and to guide you in applying your successes to other areas. Peer mentoring also fosters positive professional relationships among staff. Jen has been a great teacher. She is knowledgeable, kind, and patient with us as we learn the process and scripts. She also helps us to implement the SEE-KS framework with integrity, which is important. I have loved learning from her and recommend SEE-KS to other educators. It’s a positive, empowering, and sustainable approach to professional development.
