Meet Jenny Ponzuric

I am a Licensed Educational Psychologist bringing my background in school psychology, university teaching, and training of special education team members to my business.

Combining my education, experience, and dedication to students struggling in school, I consult, coach, and train educators who support them.

Working in the field of school psychology for over 20 years, I expanded my knowledge and expertise in assessment by obtaining my post-graduate certificate in School Neuropsychology.

Building on individual school site trainings, I also provide district-level and SELPA-level trainings on topics such as the Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses (PSW) Model for identification of Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), as well as, Multi-Tier System of Supports/Response to Instruction and Intervention (MTSS/RtI²).

My expertise in learning and training expanded as an administrator in a county-wide teacher support services program that assisted special education teachers in clearing their credentials and obtaining added authorizations. Working collaboratively with a team, I wrote curriculum and trained teachers in areas such as behavior, literacy strategies, and a wide range of IDEA areas of eligibility.

I have taught at numerous colleges and universities in Southern CA, including Pepperdine University, CSU Northridge, and Moorpark College; most recently, I was an adjunct professor in Phillip’s Graduate University’s School Psychology graduate program.

As a Master IEP CoachⓇ, I have completed training that allows me to combine my professional background with specialized information, aiding school staff in navigating the IEP process. My journey in the real of IEPs has seen me in various roles, from school psychologist to facilitator and even as a consultant prior to meetings.

My driving force is an immense commitment to supporting students in navigating school challenges. I pair this dedication with a fervent belief in the importance of efficient systems for school-based teams involved in the IEP process.

My mission is clear: to ensure school teams feel prepared and empowered for their meetings. I strive to streamline their processes, optimize their time and resources leading up to each session, and articulate student insights in a manner that resonates with families. After all, our collective goal is singular: crafting supports that truly cater to each student's unique needs, which sometimes requires some creativity and innovation.

I began working full-time in my business in January 2016 to follow my passion for assisting struggling students and impacting the systems by providing professional development and consultation services to school districts.
