Senior Educational Consultant/ Author Janet Spitler, IEW's Senior Educational Consultant, heads up our efforts to support full-time schools with ongoing training, teacher mentoring, telephone contact, and classroom-specific materials. Having experienced the opportunities and possibilities of a classroom setting, Janet shares her experience of building a linguistically rich environment to develop a love for language and a community of learners. While she cherishes the time she spent influencing students and parents, today she applies that same dedication to the classroom teachers who use this method. She has abundant classroom experience, knows our program thoroughly, and is accredited as an IEW ® Instructor at the highest level.
