Jane C. Wiatr

I am a retired Early Childhood Educator with 34 years of teaching experience. I taught Pre K Head Start in NJ. After working with 3 to 5 year old children in this capacity, I moved onto NJ Anti Bullying Program and became well versed in anti bullying techniques that were brain researched. I worked with elementary aged students, their parents and teachers in the I and RS

(Intervention and Referral Service) as well as chairing the 504 (NJ State) committee. I was a consultant for new teachers at Kean University in Union NJ in the Pre K-3 rd grade Alternate Route Program. I have tutored pre k through high school students and worked with my co author Dr. Mario C. Barbiere at his company called True North Achievement Program, where we delivered workshops ( all pre Covid 19) to teachers and administrators. I edit for college students in ELL, and I began the very first inclusion ( mainstreaming program as it was called in the 1980's) in my district under the direction of the special services department. I piloted the first Early Childhood inclusion program in my district with a co worker and at the end of my 34 years, became a general ed inclusion teacher in kindergarten. In 2019, I co authored my first book called Early Childhood Education and the Student Empowerment Program because I wanted to provide an EZ step by step process to self regulation and less disciplining in the classroom for teachers, assistants, administrators and parents.
