Jill Pszeniczny has been an educator for 19 years. Most of that time has been spent teaching second grade in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, leading ELL/inclusion classrooms. In 2006, Jill attended her first Responsive Classroom course and immediately saw an alignment between Responsive Classroom practices and her own personal values. In 2009, she became a consulting teacher, presenting for both her district and Center for Responsive Schools. She embraces the opportunity to share this recipe for learning success and growing good people in her classroom and school. Jill was the 2018 recipient of the Community Partnership Award for a General Educator from the Federation for Children with Special Needs in Boston, Massachusetts. In her spare time, Jill enjoys attending her son’s soccer games, her daughter’s dance and musical performances, and spending time with friends and loved ones.
