“As a child at Fayerweather, I simply loved learning and coming to school,” Jen shared in her speech. “Now, as an adult who works in a progressive high school, I see clearly how and why progressive education works. Through trusting relationships between teachers and students, we felt empowered to ask questions and share our ideas. Our teachers guided us with enough information to get us curious, taught us the skills we needed to gather more information, and trusted us go out and learn….Let’s keep moving forward in the Fayerweather way: by building strong relationships between adults and children, leaning into important unanswered questions, and tuning into the wisdom that young people offer.”
In her role as Director of Community Health and Counseling at CSW, Jen dedicates her time towards understanding and supporting the relationship between health and learning, infusing clinical experience and knowledge into creative, sustainable, and effective programming and preventative health efforts. She has been at CSW since 2005.
