Interim Superintendent Anna Shepherd introduces Jennifer Wells as Special Education Consultant for Floyd County Schools.
Shepherd comments, “Jennifer brings almost two decades of classroom experience with her to this role for our district and has served as the lead for the school special education team. She’s also a National Board Certified Teacher (NBCT), a rigorous certification process that most certainly demonstrates her commitment to growing professionally.
Jennifer is beginning her 20th year as an educator. She worked as a primary teacher at Prestonsburg Elementary and as a middle school special education teacher at Adams Middle and Duff-Allen Central Elementary. Jennifer and her husband Levi live in Langley with their children Will, age 15, and Anne, age 11. She has traveled to 44 states with plans to complete the list. Jennifer loves listening to Christian music and is actively involved in her church where she works with children teaching Youth Group, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School and Children's Church.
Jennifer says, “Working with such wonderful exceptional students and their families has fueled my passion about providing equitable opportunities and learning experiences to help students reach their full potential and achieve success in their future endeavors.” Wells concludes saying “I’m eager and look forward to being a support within our learning community. I’ve worked with the best students, staff and administrators throughout my career and appreciate all the support I received from colleagues along the way. I want my life to always be an example of one that helps others make their most positive impact on the world. This new role will allow me to help more people and to help provide more opportunities for students and staff.”
Shepherd comments, “Our district leadership team and I look forward to working with Jennifer more closely and are excited about what she brings to the table. It’s going to be an amazing year and we are thrilled to be planning our 2021-2022 school year.”
