As a former special education teacher and professional school counselor in Iowa, Ms. Jen Alexander has over 20 years experience providing support to young people and the educators who work with them. Within minutes of working with her, school faculty know they are learning from someone who understands the real struggles of everyday teaching and learning—and believe that transforming their school communities is not only possible but definitely doable.

Always a learner, Ms. Jen holds degrees in psychology and special education teaching as well as a master’s degree in professional school counseling from the University of Northern Iowa. She is also a nationally certified counselor and registered school-based play therapist.

Going far beyond the fundamentals, I look forward to empowering your staff with practical skills, strategies, and tools that make a real difference in the classroom and beyond.
