I enjoy spending time with family, especially my earth king who survived a very rare cancer twice and we love going to the beach, riding his Harley, enjoying home and cooking yummy meals.

My name is Jenise Jackson and I am going for round two with my Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. My undergraduate degree was in Liberal Studies and Physical Education. My graduate degree was in Curriculum and Instruction. I began working as a teacher of record in 1999 and after several attempts was unable to pass the rica exam and after substitute teaching at many Los Angeles Unified Schools, was eventually laid off. My husband who is very highly skilled was ironically laid off at the same time. I began working in aviation for many years but there was a longing in my soul to get back to my passion of teaching which is one of the many things God birthed me for. I began working as an Instructional Assistant at a wonderful high school with people (both students and adults) who are now my family. I began student teaching August 2025 with another amazing school: Windsor Hills Math/Science/Aerospace Magnet Elementary School. I am paired with a fantastic mentor teacher, who is graciously leading me as a Second Grade teacher. I began teaching in elementary for two years but my twenty plus years in education have primarily been in middle and high school.
