Description

Featured Education Matters guest: 

• Jennifer Harvey, middle school math teacher, Columbus City School's BlendEd K-8 program
  • "After spending time in the Marines, raising 4 children, and deciding that nursing school was not for me (not a fan of sick people) I started my adventure in education. I have had the honor of teaching grades 2-8, dabbled in curriculum writing, and served as an elementary math coach. I was fortunate to find my niche in middle school where my inner 12-year-old boy finds its freedom and joy."
