When education as we know it is placed in a box, it takes a professional, highly educated and compassionate woman to shake things up and bring out a result where she has her students thriving and parents letting out a sigh of relief.
Meet Jen Stark, wife and mom of 5 beautiful sons; a woman who wears many hats and excels at them all. Previously a teacher in the public school system for 18 years, Jen is currently an administrator with a Jewish Day School in Toronto, as well as a private educational consultant and a doctoral student with University of Western Ontario.
Listen to the Jen explain what she finds most fascinating about the educational field, what, in her opinion is the right way to educate and support her staff members in the right direction, as well as her thoughts on a childs' educational diagnosis and how she goes about directing the child and parents forward.
Jen shares some stories of successful turn arounds when the "system", professionals and parents had pretty much given up.
Jen's motto for her work is turning around "what now?" to "now what?" (I already let her know that I conveniently stole her phrase!)
If you want to connect with Jen personally, you can email her at: jenniferstark1800@gmail.com.
