About Jenny Lawson

I lead learning initiatives that improve performance and create measurable change. For more than a decade, I’ve partnered with leaders to identify gaps between strategy and execution, clarify expectations, and design professional learning that strengthens day-to-day practice. As a Regional Academic Coach with Imagine Schools, I led a multi-campus improvement effort that resulted in a 30% increase in high-impact instructional behaviors and 86% adherence to defined standards. Staff confidence in program expectations shifted from 44% reporting low clarity to 100% reporting strong understanding. As Director of Curriculum and Instruction, I led coaching and development initiatives that produced an average 0.5-point increase on a 4-point performance rubric within one year and reduced state science test failure rates by 27%. My work combines needs assessment, workshop design, observation-based coaching, and clear success metrics. I focus on building systems that are vision-aligned, measurable, and sustainable.
