About the Author: Jenn Breisacher

Jenn began teaching high school history in 2007. After moving from a teacher-dominated classroom to a truly student-centered one, she found herself helping colleagues who wanted to follow her lead. In 2018, she decided to expand beyond her school walls and help others who were also trying to figure out this fantastic method of instruction to ignite intrinsic motivation in their students. She launched Student Centered World at the urging of her colleagues.Fast forward to today, she has a unique perspective not many educators share. Since the start of the pandemic, she has worked with teachers from diverse backgrounds to identify what works in the classroom and what needs to be left behind. She’s shared strategies from rural Nebraska that have also succeeded in the Bronx. Together, they’ve experimented, refined, and evolved as a community.The student apathy crisis is real. If you’re still teaching like it’s pre-2020, you’ll find yourself frustrated...fast. Jenn is here to help you work your way through it.
