Over 30 million adults in the US cannot read, write or do basic
math above a third-grade level. Jen
Nickerson is working to help stem the shockingly high levels
of illiteracy and school drop-out rates with an innovative program
that focuses on the fundamentals of studying, bringing new hope to
students and their families.
ABOUT JEN NICKERSON
Jen Nickerson traces her passion
for educating back to her own childhood in Iowa City, Iowa. But as an adult, seeing the
effects of a dysfunctional public school system—high illiteracy and
drop-out rates correlating to high crime and incarceration
rates—prompted her to seek a better teaching method. She found it
in Applied Scholastics, an educational approach based on L.
Ron Hubbard's Study Technology. Along with her colleagues at
the Clearwater Community Learning Center in Clearwater, Florida, Jen helped establish a
school specifically designed to reach out to struggling students
from low-income families. To date, Jen
Nickerson and her team have empowered over 10,000 students
with Study Technology, proving the problems of illiteracy are a
byproduct of a dysfunctional system and not a reflection of the
learning abilities of the individual student.
Jen Nickerson is the executive
director of the Community Learning Center in Clearwater, Florida.
