Jane has evolved from a teacher of students to a teacher of teachers. Jane’s 35+ years of experience in the classroom provides unique perspectives, both educationally and culturally, for students, teachers, and administrators. These perspectives are derived from teaching in the Middle East, Title I urban schools of New Orleans and Houston, and traveling to 83 countries.
Her goal is to improve the quality of education and has applied the skills necessary to collaborate with her peers in reaching this goal of enhanced quality education. Obtaining her Master’s degree in Teacher Leadership and Curriculum at a “mature” age describes the ambition, focus, and drive she employs in her vocation, and her passion as a lifelong learner.
Whether delivering content in teacher effectiveness classes or coaching individual teachers, she employs humor as a medium to convey knowledge to bring the “fun” back into learning. Jane is currently working on a PRCI project to assist the training and knowledge transfer of NDE technicians working in the pipeline Industry. She has also co-authored and presented a paper for PPIM 2017 entitled “Closing the Generational Gap.”
Jane earned her BS in Special Education at the University of Wisconsin and her M.Ed. at Lamar University in Texas. She is a member of ASCD and Learning Forward.
