Are you teaching in a mixed classroom? Maybe you're working with gifted students, students with an IEP, ESOL students, and more. How do you address the needs and learning styles of such a diverse group? Jenny Mohess addresses classroom diversity and mixed classroom benefits and challenges in this episode. 

Originally from Trinidad & Tobago, Jenny has lived in Osceola County (City of Kissimmee), for over 22 years. She first stepped onto Valencia's Campus in 2000 as an international student. There she earned an A.S. in Graphic Design. While working for Apple, she earned a bachelor's in business from USF, and master's in art education from Boston University. These experiences led to jobs at Apple, Microsoft, and eventually, her own design studio. 

Jenny currently teaches at Valencia College and has found genuine purpose in mentoring future graphic/web designers through the Valencia Graphics Program. She is now building the program at Tohopekaliga High School and sharing real-world experiences with her students. Through all the real-world projects and certifications, her students are coming to the realization that they can become Adobe Certified Professional World Champions and professional designers.

Learn about Jenny's definition of a mixed classroom (it covers more than you think), and her advice for succeeding in meeting your students' needs. Discover how she looks at the "whole student" and finds partners at her school campus.
