Now Jess channels the times she felt burnt out and frustrated as a teacher into helping leaders effectively manage resources and funding planning to address what she and so many overworked educators juggle today, including chronic absenteeism and student mental health.
In this 30-minute Ed Talk, Jess will share her story as an educator, what drives her as a leader, and ways for education administrators to not only build, track, and manage budgets that align with district priorities, but shift their thinking about resource planning from dollars saved to student success.
