HELLO, good people!
I’m Jasmine! I also answer to: Jazz, mama, mommy, mommmyyy, Mrs. Rollins, Miss, Sra. Rollins.
Someone is always calling my name, but the sweet & honorable title of teacher is what led to the creation of jazzrollins.com.
I am a full-time mom, lifelong educator, coach, thought partner & protector of joy.
Teaching is Heartwork
As a classroom teacher, I am intentional about ensuring that all students feel seen and heard by establishing a sense of belonging.
Sharing parts of my identity helped me build meaningful connections and trust with students.
Making connections with the learning through storytelling and sharing real life, relatable experiences empowers students to do the same.
Today, my mission is to help other teachers create inclusive learning spaces where students thrive.
The stories I’ve shared and the connections I’ve made are what lead to my success as an educator.
Impact with kids is not easy. It’s complex. It’s context specific and requires deep commitments from adults. But it is necessary. For my kids, your kids, OUR kids.
When teachers share parts of who they are with their students, students feel more deeply connected to their learning and their class community.
ON A MISSON
I am on a mission to help other educators create & nurture relationships & spaces centered on belonging. Through sharing stories from teaching and mothering, my hope is that others take their own stories & experiences and use them to drive connection & community in the spaces where they lead.
