“Fantastic presenter, incredibly relevant techniques and tools! I’m taking more away from this single session than I have at any other conference or PD session I’ve been to! The presentation and materials were outstanding. I’m already sharing what I have learned with other faculty members. This was truly the best workshop I’ve attended. The instructor was knowledgeable and entertaining. I could listen to her teach all day.”
“Jenn found a good balance between helping the individuals in the class and offering instruction to the group as a whole. It’s not easy to provide valuable instruction to such a diverse group of teachers. Hearing from the others in the class, it sounds as if Jenn succeeded in that.”
“This has been one of the very best workshops I’ve ever attended at GHS, if not the best. Everything I learned is practical and will have real impact on what I can do in the classroom. Mrs. Judkins is really what made the experience work; I’ve never heard someone talk about computer programs in a way that’s fun and clear for even an hour, and she filled two days.”
“Jenn was very knowledgeable and made time for all questions. Her enthusiasm is infectious. The information I learned today will revolutionize my communication and efficiency at work. A game changer. Jenn is outstanding as a presenter and teacher. I can’t wait to start using these skills”
“This was AMAZING and so helpful. I feel like I have a whole toolbox of things that I feel comfortable using right away and some that I have gained some exposure to and need to practice on my own. I feel like this has been worthwhile PD.”
