Jennifer is highly skilled at interpreting Next Generation Science Standards and developing teacher professional development courses that are fun and engaging - and also allows teachers to use the content right away. She consistently looks for new technologies to incorporate into sessions and new partners that can enhance programs. When COVID-19 hit, she moved to e-learning quickly and developed agendas that included both synchronous and asynchronous learning, were interactive, involved family members to participate, and were sensitive to the realities of working from home with family to care for. I enjoyed managing Jenn and feeding off of her excitement and energy!
