Episode 153 Redefine your Normal...Starring Jennifer Burke-Hansen
Imagine a high school girl from Texas deciding to venture to Denmark as an exchange student. Talk about a culture and a climate shock. I\u2019m describing the young Jennifer Burke-Hansen. What\u2019s interesting about Jennifer is that she became enchanted with this tiny nation of 6 million on the scenic Jutland Peninsula. So much so that she\u2019s resided there for the last three decades and taught high school for the bulk of her stay.
Jennifer embodies the growth mindset. She continually pushes herself outside of her comfort zone. Teaching school is hard enough in your hometown. Imagine teaching in a different culture where the students don\u2019t even speak your native language.
The challenges of returning to in person instruction this fall is making many anxious. Jennifer is here to help. She\u2019s offering free training entitled How to create your personalized back-to-school reEntry plan! Just click on the link to access. Here\u2019s also a post from her reEnchanting Teaching Blog. The post is titled Redefine your Normal. I love this idea and we talk about teaching in the post-COVID world a lot in this episode. I also love the theme of her blog reEnchanting Teaching. I was a successful teacher, but there were seasons in my career where I had doubts. Jennifer\u2019s blog addresses questioning educators. You\u2019re not alone and Jennifer is here to help.
