Educator · Author · Researcher · Adjunct professor · Educational leader

Dr. Jen Walczak is an educator, author, researcher, adjunct professor, and educational leader whose career has been grounded in a commitment to ensuring every learner is known, valued, challenged, and supported.

Her work focuses on culturally inclusive pedagogy, multilingual learners, educator development, and creating human-centered learning environments where all students can thrive. Through Culturally Connected, she helps educators recognize language, culture, identity, and strengths as assets — and turn what we know about learning into practices that work in real classrooms.

“When educators understand the learners in front of them, they can create learning experiences that recognize who students are while opening doors to who they can become.”
