Leading with Empathy with Jenny Mitchell

Send us Fan Mail"One phrase can make a difference, and it can be positive or negative." Jenny Mitchell didn’t always plan to be a teacher. But after a chance encounter with an international school during a study abroad experience, her path changed and she’s never looked back. Now the Director of Teaching and Learning at an American school in Taiwan, Jenny supports over 130 educators and 800 students while being a powerful advocate for empathy and global citizenship. In this episode of Front of the Class, Jenny reflects on her years of teaching in international schools, her entry into curriculum leadership, and how she supports both teachers and students in a rapidly changing educational landscape. From prioritizing student voices to embracing AI in education, Jenny’s approach is grounded in listening, reflection, and courage that all educators can identify with. Get your FREE Workbook ➡️ The K-12 Teacher's Workbook for a Mid-Year ResetThis free resource for teachers is a practical way to set (and achieve) your professional goals this year.
