John Jensen

Psychologist at Educational Consultant
Scottsdale, Arizona
John is a psychologist licensed in Alaska, currently working in Arizona. In the early nineties, he made a discovery about how certain motives drawn on together generate student skill and zest for learning. He has tested these methods successfully with teachers and schools in a dozen states; in a center for emotionally and behaviorally disturbed teenagers, in a school in his own home for two years for 8-10th grade dropouts, and in charter schools in Arizona.

In 2012, Rowman and Littlefield published his 3-volume Practice Makes Permanent series for turning classrooms around quickly, containing ideas and approaches not available anywhere else. John's book The Effective Classroom Turnaround volume last year received a favorable review and “exceptional” recommendation in Choice magazine for librarians. His blogs on child development and classroom methods have appeared frequently in EducationNews.org
