A Community for Professionals, Parents and Students Interested in Education.
Many Windows is a community of school administrators, faculty, parents, students and anyone else interested in the business of schooling and education in the 21st century. Our monthly podcasts feature a critical topic facing all members of a school community and share our hosts’ perspectives on that topic. At the end of the episode we take questions from the Many Windows community.
We are looking forward to getting to know you all better and to demystifying aspects of school, teaching, learning, parenting and so forth that make what should be a great experience hard, or at least harder than it needs to be.

Jennifer Meglemre began her career in education in 1999 at a large middle school in Sylmar, CA. After a couple of years teaching 8th grade English, she took a job teaching English at a middle school in Burbank Unified School District, where she still works today. After earning a Masters in Educational Leadership at UCLA, she began her career in administration at the same middle school. She worked for three years as Assistant Principal, and then moved to the district office, working in Curriculum and Assessment. In 2010, she graduated from UCLA with a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and the next year returned to the school site as an elementary school principal. She was the principal of Roosevelt Elementary for the next seven years and returned to her first love, middle school, as the Principal of Dolores Huerta Middle School, where she served as principal until 2022.
She lives in Sierra Madre with two one-eyed dogs (it's a long story!).
