Hi, my name is Jennifer Boutwell. I have been teaching for 19 years with 5 of those in the Gifted program. I am married with a beautiful teenage daughter. I have a Master's Degree in Gifted Education from Troy University. In my gifted classroom, I like incorporating STEAM activities and encouraging students to think creatively and critically. My job is actually more like coaching and encouraging my students.  I strive to have a classroom environment that promotes higher order thinking and creativity.
