Jennifer Weimer for FVSD Board: Children Learning Together
Welcome! Chà o mừng! My name is Jennifer Weimer and I am running for the Fountain Valley School Board. My platform is to align the district with inclusive learning practices so that all children can learn together and foster a better sense of community. Please scroll down to read more details, or find information on how to contact me.
Children Learning Together
I am the parent of two wonderful children, one of whom has Down syndrome. My experiences as a special need parent have motivated me to become involved in education for all children. In reviewing education research, the data overwhelmingly shows inclusive education benefits all children. For gifted students, it allows them to strengthen their depth of knowledge and how to communicate their thoughts to an audience. For students with language barriers or learning disabilities, they respond better to a peer teaching rather than an adult. I would like to see Fountain Valley apply more of these teaching tactics and allow for ALL children in the district to succeed to their full potential.
