(Re)Building Connections and Collaborations Across High School and College Writing Contexts

As a teacher educator, Jessica’s teaching and scholarship focus on facilitating teacher development for middle, high school, and college English teachers. Her publication record includes articles and book chapters that deepen educators’ understandings of teacher-learning and provide frameworks for facilitating teacher-learning. Her expertise in writing pedagogy education is informed by her work teaching undergraduate courses in English Education and graduate courses in writing studies. Additionally, she directs the Department of English’s concurrent enrollment program at Utah State University. In this role, she draws from her experience as a former high school English teacher to create the professional partnerships that are necessary for meaningful professional development for teachers of writing at the secondary and postsecondary level.
