Janet Avery

I have been an educator for 30 years. I am currently the Superintendent in Potlatch School District in the small, rural town of Potlatch, ID. Before that I was the Jerome School District Curriculum Director and have been a Middle School Principal, Assistant Principal, and Secondary English Teacher. I have lived and worked in many places around the country, but Idaho has always been my home.

I received a Bachelor's in Education (1991) and a Master's in Educational Leadership (2005) from the University of Idaho. In 2015, I received my Ed Specialist in Executive Educational Leadership from Boise State University.

I believe that every learner deserves the best teacher facilitating their learning! That happens when we meet learners where they are through listening to their stories, seeing their possibilities, and then showing them where they can go.

Known to many as @averyteach on X formerly known as Twitter, I was the moderator of #IDedchat (a weekly Twitter chat) and co-founder of #edcampidaho.

I live to fulfill my purpose of helping others live IN to their potential - to see their aspirations become reality. Do you "know your why"?
