In performances, residencies and after-school programs, Jennifer Jacobson celebrates the power of children to make a positive difference in the world. Innovative and engaging, Jennifer’s programs meet the National Standards for Language Arts and nurture children’s confidence. Teachers and parents say: “Jennifer's residency tied beautifully to our writing program. Her storytelling was sensational! The children enjoyed her games and the modeling throughout was most helpful.”--–J. Beyer, Educator “My son’s writing improved dramatically because of this program. He thinks of himself as a jock and a math head but now he has great confidence speaking in front of others and developing his ideas. Bravo.” K. Meinke "What an impressive evening Jennifer produced! The deep sense of community in the third grade was palpable and very touching. At the same time, because each child crafted his or her own story, there was ample opportunity for individualized expression and achievement.”
