One of the keys to the success of Jackson Consulting is our commitment to our clients. We're committed to doing everything we can to ensure teachers, literacy coaches and leadership have the necessary tools they need to sustain improved student achievement.
Grafton Public Schools says:
Jill Jackson was able to provide our teachers and administrators with the straight facts about what is working and not working within our classrooms. She knows what it takes for schools to be successful and she requires teachers to 'bring it!' She provides us with continual support and this holds us all accountable to take real action.
Minco High School says:
The collaboration, professional development and mentoring was instrumental in helping us achieve our New School Status. Jackson Consulting will continue as an active partner in our growth.
Minidoka County Schools says:
Working with Jackson Consulting has been very rewarding. Jill is a gifted organizer and presenter, as well as, a master teacher. She provided our District with meaningful, relevant, and effective training and strategies to help us increase instructional focus and intensity. We have seen consistent growth and improvement in academic achievement as we have focused on the quality of teacher instruction and delivery of the curriculum. I highly recommend Jill's services as "top-notch" professional development. She was able to relate with our teachers and provide useful instructional coaching to our teachers and administrators.
Wall Elementary School, Wall, South Dakota says:
I appreciate all that you and your staff has done for us. The services you’ve provided have been above expectation. I have been dropping your name to a lot of administrators I visit with, telling them how valuable your work has been for us. Although the Reading First money is no longer coming in, I will do what I can to find money so that we can continue to work with you.
Reading First Idaho says:
Thank you for providing such excellent service to Idaho's educators. Your knowledge, skills, and outstanding presentations have proven to be invaluable resources as we work towards building capacity and sustaining changes in our educational system throughout the state. Your work, customized for Idaho, with building administrators and instructional coaches, has contributed to our success and the ultimate success of our students. You have made a difference in Idaho!
Reading First South Dakota says:
For more than a year, Jill has provided high quality professional development to those involved in early literacy in the state of South Dakota. Not only has she provided on-site technical assistance to schools, but has also delivered keynote addresses and breakout sessions at the annual South Dakota Reading First Conference. She creates a positive atmosphere in each setting by delivering scientifically based reading research in a way that inspires teachers to go back to their classrooms, fired up. She reaches all teachers in the room, regardless of the size of the group, as evidenced by the evaluations completed by participants. Teachers frequently request that we bring her back to the state for follow-up workshops. Jill will definitely be returning to South Dakota to work with our early literacy educators!
Idaho State Department of Education says:
The Literacy Leadership training in Chicago was such fun! We had a great time together, even though we were discussing the hard topics of implementing change in literacy instruction. I left enthused about taking the steps in my work.
Ruidoso Municipal Schools, Ruidoso, New Mexico says:
As an administrator, I found Jill Jackson's Literacy Coaching seminar to be very beneficial. I am now better prepared to guide the reading coaches and help them to be more effective in their roles. It really helped me to understand the teacher-coach relationship and to know how to encourage and foster these interactions. Jill is very knowledgeable and provides practical information and materials. This was an excellent training!
Utah State Office of Education says:
As Utah's Reading First Director for the past six years, I have facilitated many statewide professional development opportunities for administrators and literacy coaches. I can always count on Jill Jackson to tailor her presentations and resources to meet the specific needs of each individual group of participants. Whether she is addressing novice or experienced coaches, school and district administrators, or state department specialists, Jill's vast knowledge, experience and expertise in all facets of literacy development and instruction, educational leadership, instructional coaching, and effective research-based strategies for school and district improvement make her an exemplary presenter who is always well received by attendees. In November 2008 Jill was the keynote speaker at the Utah Council of the International Reading Association's (UCIRA) annual conference in Salt Lake City where she received the highest accolades from K-12 classroom teachers, special educators, administrators, literacy coaches and university professors who were in attendance. Jill seamlessly weaves research, hands-on practice with feedback, and time for reflection into every presentation to ensure that participants leave her sessions with the motivation and knowledge to successfully implement their new learning.
