Meet Jennifer

Jennifer Lempp is the author of Math Workshop: Five Steps to Implementing Guided Math, Learning Stations, Reflection, and More. This book is a practical resource meant to support teachers with strategies and structures to help create a learning environment where students are engaged in purposeful mathematics experiences.

Jennifer consults with schools and districts around the country, providing professional development on mathematics content and instructional practices. Additionally, Jennifer supports school leaders on the development of mathematics professional learning and school improvement plans. She is also an experienced online educator and offers many virtual sessions for teachers and leaders. 

Jennifer has experience teaching at both the elementary and middle school levels. Additionally, she served as a math coach and district leader for many years. Jennifer is a Nationally Board certified teacher in Early Adolescence mathematics, and in her 20+ years in education has found joy in the teaching of both students and teachers. 

Jennifer holds a Bachelor’s in elementary and special education from Duquesne University and a Master’s degree in education from North Carolina Central University. She earned a K-8 Mathematics Specialist endorsement through her coursework at George Mason University and her Administration and Supervision certificate from Virginia Commonwealth University. She most recently earned her Doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of Virginia. 

Jennifer's goal is to ensure all students have positive mathematics experiences and that teachers have the tools to support all students in the area of mathematics

Confident engaged students

At the heart of Jennifer's math workshop message is one of her core beliefs about teaching children:  an important key to optimizing learning is student engagement. Engagement comes from joyful learning experiences, from students feeling curious, and from students working with one another. As dedicated educators, we all strive to see the spark of excitement in students when they are actively engaged in their own math learning and when they have the confidence to rely on their own reasoning to approach new problems.

Empowering Each Teacher To Be the Best

Jennifer strives to ensure a unique and collaborative experience with those she supports. She spends time to get to know the school, resources, and desired outcomes in order to personalize the professional development she provides. Her number one goal is to build the capacity in teachers to empower each one of them to be a skilled and confident teacher of mathematics.
