I recommend Jenny ... She has strong teaching experience, works well with others, and is an excellent mentor. Her research interests focus on connecting research to practice and have the potential to bring new and exciting voices to our field.  I recall thinking after our conversation that, “if we ever have any openings, this is the type of person I would want on my team.” 

Associate Chair, Department of Art and Art History, University of Texas

Jenny used her time in England to become fully involved in not just her academic studies, but in finding out about the current issues in the UK art education system and also in understanding and following trends and movements globally through being an active and constantly learning member of InSEA. She was a great team member and we really do miss her physical presence. I have followed her academic path closely and with great interest and would have no hesitation in recommending her for this position.

InSEA World Counselor

Jenny’s passion for art education is evident throughout the dissertation ... the uniqueness, value and commitment are not only to art education, and art educators but furthering the understanding and promoting art education at every level. In my 15 years of working with doctoral students, Jenny Evans proved to be the most conscientious, brilliant critical thinker and consummate writer with which I have had the pleasure to work as a chair. 

Argosy University

She is well organised and has been involved in a range of other research, administrative, professional and pastoral activities, both voluntary and paid, whilst at Exeter, and is a valued member of the research community both at Exeter and in visual arts networks beyond.

Exeter University

She is also a most dependable student and colleague... Her good judgement and mature outlook ensure a logical and practical approach to her endeavors... Jenny has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility and ambition. In addition to her excellent scholastic acomplishments she has proven her committment to the arts by continuing to volunteer weekly to teach art while completing her degree.

Arizona State University

She has a strong interest in working with children and putting their perspectives in the forefront of learning rather than designing a subject centered approach to learning... She also has international experiences that would be worth sharing with students in your program.  She is a delight to work with and she would be a fine addition to any teaching program. 

Arizona State University

We have been very impressed with her age appropriate description of the masters she is covering in class.  More importantly, her ability to find hands-on activities to give the children a chance to work in similar mediums is very creative and engages the students thoroughly.  Her passion for art is apparent to both the teaching staff and her students.

Risen Savior Lutheran School

She was extremely good at making the classroom fun and interesting, as well as making sure that educational goals were met. Her lesson plans and classroom management skills were admirable, and the staff always appreciated her ability to tie art instruction to state standards across the curriculum. 

Pearson Education

Jenny is organized, efficient, extremely competent, and has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. Her communication skills, both written and verbal, are excellent. The students gravitated to her and her presentations were fun and highly informative.
