Biography: 

Jessica is a reader, a writer and a teacher, who has been passionately involved in education for more than thirty years. She has taught students from preschool to university, and has continuously supported teacher learning in her roles as education consultant, in-school administrator and, these past years, director of educational and technology services for a school board. Her interests are very varied and include identity, language and literacy, professional collaboration and school success. While we continue to focus on the what, the why and the how in education, Jessica believes that urgent attention needs to be drawn to the who.
