Testimonials

“Jen presented a lively and interactive workshop for staff from districts in our regional area. She perfectly blended theory and research with activities for practical classroom application of the WIDA Framework. Great workshop!”

Tere Masiarchin, ELL/Global Languages Coordinator, CESA 6, Oshkosh, Wisconsin

“Jen Daniels expertly conducted two workshops for Wyoming teachers on the new 2012 WIDA Amplified Standards, graciously stepping in at the last minute when another trainer was ill. I am extremely impressed with the depth of Jen’s knowledge on all things ELL. More impressive however, is her ability to deliver instruction that makes complex standards understandable and accessible to everyone. Jen delivers her workshops in a professional and respectful manner using instructional strategies that include all participants and that demonstrate techniques they can take back to their classrooms. I highly recommend Jen Daniels for any trainings pertaining to ELLs, you will not be disappointed! “

Robin Holbrook, Education Program Consultant, Wyoming Department of Education

“The quality of Jennifer’s presentation was excellent and exceeded my expectations. Her knowledge base and ability to connect with teachers made the training interesting and applicable. Jennifer engaged our group right from the start and brought clarity to the purpose and application of WIDA standards which had been a bit fuzzy for us. I recommend Jennifer highly for any training related to ELL needs.”

Lynnette Johnson, Student Services Director, Blanding, Utah

“Jennifer has presented to educators in our district in the past, and we were so pleased with the excellent job she did that we didn’t even consider inviting anyone else to come this year. Jennifer is not only extremely knowledgeable in the content area of purpose, structure, and use of the CELP standards, but also about any teaching strategies and instructional methods that relate to serving the needs of English learners. She is always well prepared, organized, and uses a variety of instructional approaches to involve and enlighten participants. Most of all, she is sensitive to the challenges and needs of educators who struggle to work with diverse populations of students, and do so with very limited resources. Jennifer brings a warmth and calmness with her that makes her trainings enjoyable and non-threatening. I highly recommend Jennifer Daniels for your district’s professional development needs!”
