Build the collaborative relationships first, then the instruction, then the results. In that order.
Great instruction is not an accident. It comes from clear design, honest data, and teachers who have been coached rather than simply told.
Across two decades in education, Jennifer J. Covell has held two jobs at the same time: teaching students, and training the adults responsible for teaching them. As Lead Title 1 Math and Language Arts Teacher with Catapult Learning, she supervised and trained assistant teachers across two K-8 schools while running small-group math and reading instruction herself. Over four years, district scores for as many as 130 students climbed from 52% to 66%.
When Catapult needed someone to run its afterschool reading program for at-risk youth, she took it, providing training and leadership to a staff of ten instructors, administering the assessments, reporting results to administrators and parents, and delivering measurable gains of up to 40%.
A results-driven educator with extensive experience in instructional leadership, professional development, and curriculum design, adept at building collaborative relationships and managing educational programs from design to implementation.
Literacy is her specialty. She taught the most popular elementary writing course at Time4Writing.com, growing new student signups 35% over five years while managing up to 150 student accounts, and later taught writing, language arts, and social studies over Zoom to international students aged four to fourteen. As a library paraprofessional at Douglas Middle School, she built STEM-embedded programs on 1:1 iPads for 300 students across grades six through eight, and expanded the library's budget by 15% in three years through grant writing and funding requests.
Her classroom roots run to grade three inclusion teaching in the Mendon-Upton Regional School District and multi-age STEM instruction at Cornerstone Academy, where she taught through experiential, inquiry-based projects and assessed students through portfolios, conferencing, and rubrics rather than tests alone.
Jennifer holds a Master of Education in Elementary Education from Lesley University and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts from Framingham State University. She is based in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and brings Time To Teach classroom management training to K-12 schools and districts.

This was the best logical presentation on discipline I've had in twenty-three years of teaching. I have practical ideas I can use immediately. He demonstrated great knowledge of classroom practices, management, and what life is actually like in the classroom. So few do.
