In second grade my teacher asked me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" What a silly quesion I thought - a teacher of course! With nearly three decades in education my passion for teaching has NEVER stopped.Â
I now get to share the passion with teachers, coaches and administrators. We think about student learning through observations, reflections and the creation of teaching moves. We take data and observations that have been made, reflect on what they mean in the literacy process, to create a scaffold and system of support. We link student learning to the teaching activities that we use.

Sharing the love for teaching and learning,

"Working with Jennifer has been such an excellent experience for our staff. We had both full-day PDs and push-in PDs (All custom-built to meet the needs of all of our teachers.) Both types left staff feeling excited and ready to implement the things they learned. Jennifer doesn't just teach reading strategies, she teaches and models how to inspire, love, and energize students. Our building is a better place after having Jennifer here, not just in our culture but also in our test scores. I highly recommend Jennifer to any school that is looking for a positive change in reading that not only ensures reading success for students but also a love of reading that is undeniable. "

"Jennifer engages both teachers and students in the pursuit of automatic processing of print. Immersion in language is the focus. She inspires flexible responses to student attempts.She is a gift!"

"“Working with Jennifer Burns is refreshing and energizing. She is able to focus on an area of need, identify the parts for improvement and know how to guide learning that best supports teachers. She is fearless and courageous, addressing needs that are avoided and does so in a professional, kind way. Teachers respect her because of her knowledge, guidance, focus and practical experience. Going back into the classroom herself adds credibility to her because she has most recently experienced it herself.”"
