Meet Ms. Blossom
Hi! I'm Jenn Blossom, but my students know me as Ms. Blossom. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Education, with an emphasis in Special Education. I've worked with students with a wide range of learning, social, emotional, and behavioral support needs. One thing I've learned? Knowing what to do and knowing how to do it in real life are two very different things! That's why I believe in teaching practical skills explicitly, breaking complicated situations into manageable steps, and giving students opportunities to practice without fear of getting everything wrong. My goal is to help young people build confidence, understand themselves, strengthen relationships, and develop skills they can actually use beyond the classroom. Because every student deserves the tools to navigate real life.
