Animating Question

How many innovations have been left undiscovered because students haven’t been able to bring their whole selves to school?

BACKGROUND

Jennifer has been teaching in independent schools for over twenty years. She began her career at Germantown Friends School in Philadelphia where she taught math for ten years while simultaneously completing her doctorate at nearby Bryn Mawr College. After graduating, she returned to her home state of Massachusetts where she has taught at both The Rivers School and Bancroft School. Outside of teaching math, Jennifer’s biggest passion is diversity, equity, and inclusion work. She has founded both faculty and student groups devoted to DEI work at previous schools, and she looks forward to continuing this work at NEIA.

EDUCATION

Ph.D. and M.A. in Mathematics, Mawr College, B.A., St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY

WHAT SHE’D SAY TO HER 15-YEAR-OLD SELF

Don’t change who you are to try to fit in. You will find a true sense of belonging once you are wholly yourself and find people who appreciate you for who you are.

NEIA is proud to announce that the NEIA Board of Trustees has formed a senior advisory group to counsel us on areas of improvement in all aspects of the school and to serve as a resource as we refine our curriculum and program.

Welcome Rick Hardy, Amir Reza, and Erdin Beshimov. We are so excited to work with you!

After joining us here at NEIA, Ricky Hardy says, "Some years ago, when I first talked with my friend Jane Du about her vision–to build a school that would be a laboratory for testing new ideas about education, a model for schools across the world, and a place where kids could thrive–I was excited. Now, after seeing NEIA take shape over the past two years, I am even more thrilled to be here. It is a privilege to be around students and teachers once again, and to feel that unmistakable energy of a true learning community, one whose values–empathy, creativity, and community–are ones I deeply believe in. I also believe that the world needs NEIA because it is built on a vital principle: that a school must have the capacity to evolve, to respond to changes in the world around it, and thereby to inspire students to be thoughtful stewards of that world. NEIA is just such a school, and I am honored to be a part of it."

Matt shared with students his process of team building, business development, and, most importantly, believing in yourself. His message was taking every opportunity to be involved in your business and focus on what you are passionate about.
