Testimonials
“There are people you meet that immediately grab your attention, make you reflect on your work, plant seeds of ideas, and, in doing so, make you better. Jason is one of those people. He is a great leader. He challenges you to be better while supporting you to reach your goals. He asks questions but doesn’t judge. He is knowledgeable but open to new ideas. He connects with you where you are at. He is trustworthy. He listens. I have witnessed his students and coworkers hold onto every word he says in anticipation. I have experienced the outcomes of his leadership as a coworker and student of his. I know that we are better people as a result of Jason’s leadership and that future generations of students and teachers will continue to learn and find inspiration from him."
-- Ben M. (Middle/High School Science Teacher and IB Program Leader) --
Consistently, (Jason) has demonstrated a deep student learning and growth centered passion, informed through a diversity, equity, inclusion and justice lens, that equates to strong, collaborative, and courageous leadership that can transform a learning community. Jason is at his strongest in arenas where there is open dialogue about ways to support and enhance student learning and professional development. He is transparent and accountable. He seeks feedback and encourages professionals (and students) to lean into difficult conversations. His thirst for learning is contagious."
-- John H. (Associate Dean of Students, Colorado State University) --
“I have had the opportunity to observe Jason in various roles in and out of the classroom. In every instance, Jason’s ability to conduct a room of adults or students was truly a work of art. Modeling Jacob Kounin’s theory of “withitness,” Jason was aware of all activities in the room and adjusted accordingly; clearly, the mark of a master leader and teacher.”
-- Cori H. (Former School Administrator and IB Diploma Program Leader) --
It would take pages upon pages to list all the hats he has worn in education. You will not find someone who has “walked in the shoes” of so many different roles. His depth of understanding of how to run a program and school as well as all the “behind the scenes” roles is vast and unmatched. Community involvement is one of Jason’s superpowers. It takes a village to educate, and Jason works hard to build that village. His personality fits so well with outreach, and people learn to trust him quickly when they see that the basis for all his decisions are those that he serves."
