It’s not time to give up.
it’s time to try something New.
Working to support the growth in others often requires time and energy from you. We notice that you pour yourself into these challenging opportunities. While we love you for that, we want better for you than burnout. Our consultants will work with you individually to understand the issues in your space, offer you ideas and perspectives, and guide you to identify what is working already. In order to support others, you need support yourself.
Hi, I’m Jen!
I’m glad you’re here.
Over the past two decades I have worked in collaboration with schools, families and other professionals to build collective and individual capacity to enhance practices that support the education of individuals with social emotional learning differences including autism spectrum disorder and related disabilities. My work focuses on using appreciative inquiry techniques, social emotional learning practices paired with universal design for learning. I share knowledge in a manner that educators, families and other community members can learn and apply specific to their role and skills. I want to leverage my experiences in school and home-based programming, social emotional learning and well-being, universal design for learning, trauma informed care, professional development and leadership, coaching and mentorship to offer you a new path forward. Together, we can make an impact in a child’s life. It starts by thinking differently.
ARE YOU Ready to dive in?
Jen’s book, Think Differently, will inspire you. Appreciation is one of the most compelling and powerful feelings we possess, so why don't we use it more often in education? In Think Differently, Jen Townsend guides you in your role as an educator or educational learner in how to use appreciative inquiry to reinvigorate and transform collaborative teams.
