Good Morning, Happy Wednesday, and Welcome to my Blog!!
My name is Jennifer Stover. I am an educational consultant, beginning my new career alongside Angela Maiers (of Maiers Educational Services, Inc.), and Mike Sansone (of Converstations). I am humbled and honored to be a part of their (my) mission, which is very simple: change the lives of learners all across the world.
This is a very exciting and brand-new day for me as I begin a completely new venture in my life. Today marks the beginning of a turn in my career I never expected. I couldn't sleep last night, I am having so much fun imagining the possibilities that are ahead!
Angela Maiers: Many of my friends and colleagues in the public school system, as well as the graduate level are familiar with Angela and the amazing work she does with schools around the country (and world). While teaching in Johnston, IA, I had the pleasure of being involved with staff development with Angela. She is acknowledged as an accomplished writer, leader in best practice research, and 21st century learning strategies. More importantly, she works with her heart, then her head. Her work isn't "work"...it is a life mission. I am honored to be her colleague as well as her friend.
Mike Sansone, designer of the company "Converstations", is a business builder and conversation conductor, who works with Angela and I on every issue from designing our businesses to opening our car doors and holding our purses while we shoe shop! He is an amazing man, committed to positive change in the world. I am proud he considers me worthy to be a part of his team!
As a reader of my blog, what I hope to provide is this: insights from one educator to another of what I believe to be important in regards to best practices and resources for your classrooms. My goal is to constantly be researching, learning from the best, trying new lessons with learners, staying focused on helping you be your best at all times. My background is elementary and early childhood education, undergraduate literacy education, graduate early childhood education and digital literacy.
As an educational Consultant, what I hope to provide is this: to be invited to come to schools and work with teachers and staff, working with them to support the curriculum they already have, strengthen their strengths, and not "reinvent the wheel." Thinking about what is important to teachers in staff development, I want to assist them in feeling empowered, inspired, and excited about what they do in their classrooms with our most precious future resource....our children.
With that.....I look forward to having conversations with you and hope to be working with you soon!
Sincerely,
Jen Stover
Jen - Great to have you on the team! I've already learned much from you and look forward to continued learning and conversation. You make us smarter - let's be contagious

I'm shocked to find out how much of information I received on this matter. I m so extremely thankful of you. The one thing I can claim that, after reading this article I got preserved from the total ineffective search I ought to have made on this specific issue. Your post is a serious blessing in disguise.

The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for circumstances they want , and if they cannot find them .they make them.Do you understand?

Normally I wait until I have the newspaper in hand on Sundays before working on the large puzzle, but I peeked at it on the computer last night and couldn't stop until I'd finished! I didn't even check it here till10 a.m., just slept like a log in total bliss...

I'll go my way by myself here's how that comedy ends
I have to deny myself love and laughter and friends
With clouds in the sky above have put the blocks on my fun
I'll try to fly up above for my place in the sun
I'll face the unknown I'll build the world of my own
No one know that I denied myself I found myself alone

Attitude, to me, is a lot more imperative than what other individuals believe. The lengthier I stay, the much more I recognize the effect of perspective on lifestyle. What about you? http://www.nikeairjordan.cc/
