Why Learn? 

Learning has always been a challenge for me. I have alway had to put in extra time and effort to achieve the same results as others. 

​

I believe that for these reasons, my passion for helping others learn has evolved.

I've found myself a life learner, despite my challenges, and find passion in helping others overcome learning barriers.

​

In the classroom, my sole purpose is to adapt a learning environment so all learners can participate, grow and thrive.

​

Learning is a lifelong process and also a delicate balance of information coming in and transforming out into expressions, responses, choice and opportunities. 

​

Students say to me often, "learning is hard or it sucks." I always agree and redirect to this:

Yes, it can suck. Yes, it can be hard. BUT, you can do hard things and I believe in you.

​

I also believe that with the right accommodations (classroom supports) and modifications (curricula supports),

ALL learning is possible. 

​

When we feel supported, loved, cared for, our brains light up in the most magical ways and learning is fueled and strengthened. 

​

My hope is to be a positive support and help guide them in understanding their own capabilities. My greatest passion is helping students build and strengthen their executive functioning skills, social-emotional skills and self-regulation skills. 

​

Through these skills, we empower our best selves by developing a mindset that ignites our learning paths and our lives. 

​

I hope you find the educational materials useful and enjoy the BrainBreak videos. These are fun moments which have a lasting impact. 

​

So much love, 

Jodi
