2018 Illinois Teacher of the Year Lindsey Jensen marvels at all that she has learned from her students, and she makes sure that they feel listened to, trusted, and respected. “We have open conversations about what their perfect school would look like, and I try to implement that into my classroom,” she says. “I try to hear them. And I try to understand where they’re coming from.” She says that kids are “reservoirs of knowledge. And they want to be heard.”
