Jennifer Moore

My current perspective is a unique amalgamation of my varied experiences, knowledge and skills that I have acquired over 20 years in education. My roles, including principal, teacher, adjunct professor, coach and consultant, have helped me realize the need for kinder, healthier communication in all corners of a school community. My certifications as a National Board Certified Teacher, as a TEFL teacher, as an executive coach and my doctorate in Organization Change have helped me to systematically develop my expertise in the interactions of adults in school communities. My work has elevated the well-being of educators and school communities by way of professional development workshops, online training, consulting and coaching. My passion for restorative communication has ignited educators to take the much-needed steps to begin building more respectful, cooperative, and compassionate classrooms and school communities.

I have not published articles or books but have developed three online courses for Restorative Communication which are presented in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole.

I am a member of many professional organizations, including Phi Delta Kappan, the International Coaching Federation, the Organizational Development Network, International Positive Psychology Association, and the Center for Self-Determination Theory. Since 2018, I have regularly presented workshops at: Accutrain Innovative School Summits, National Association for the Education of Young Children, Illinois Education Association. I occasionally teach educators in China and present at international conferences and. Educators who have worked with me describe me as “an innovative educator… trustworthy, respected, and professional” — “a role model for democracy, fairness and inclusion” — “inspiring, supportive and caring.”   For more testimonials, please visit:  https://www.moorewellbeing.com/testimonials and https://www.jennmoorecoaching.com/

As an active consultant, I work with school leaders to identify areas of potential growth for improved outcomes. I then provide customized professional development, based on each school’s needs. The plans might include staff and student well-being workshops, restorative communication professional learning series for teams and leaders, or executive function professional learning series. I also provide family workshops in conjunction with staff development to help families learn similar content, with the intent of connecting home and school.  All of the work that I do is geared towards helping schools create environments in which everyone can thrive.
