Jamie Williams
Teacher Consultant
Special Services

"Jamie went above and beyond to share information regarding new technology to the school psychologist and teacher consultant group. Her help was invaluable!”

“Jamie put countless hours into communicating with Aimsweb Plus staff and learning how to use their online tools so that she could train the school psychologists and teacher consultants how to use their product for intervention and progress monitoring purposes. She took on this responsibility on behalf of the group and we would like to show our appreciation for all the things she does for our special services group—we are lucky to have her!”

“Jamie researched, compiled resources for, and trained the school psychology/teacher consultant team on Aimsweb Plus, as all members of the team needed updated training on how to use the tool moving forward with changes that were implemented. She did this while still performing her role as a teacher consultant and we are grateful for her time and energy.”

Mrs. Waun goes above and beyond for her students and we are so blessed to have her in the Midland Public Schools family.”
