Ep 7: Jennie Iglehart - Perspectives on Education

The Brain Coach

Retired independent schoolteacher Jennie Iglehart shares her experiences and learnings from a 34-year career in education.

An elementary school teacher, Jennie taught hundreds of Baltimore-area students in 4th and 5th grades. She shares the roundabout way she found education after an early career as an ICU nurse.

Mary and Jennie discuss current trends in education including specialized education, technology, and the increased emphasis on equity, diversity, and inclusion. How collaboration and seeking help from colleagues benefits teachers, students, and families. And why giving yourself the time and space to make decisions (and mistakes!) can help you find the right career path.
