Jeanie Phillips is a former (and always!) school librarian and a Professional Development Coordinator for the Tarrant Institute for Innovative Education. She is a 2014 Rowland Fellow, a National Facilitator for the School Reform Initiative, and a doctoral student in the Education Policy and Leadership Studies program at the University of Vermont. As host of the @vtedreads podcast, Jeanie gets to do her most favorite thing ever: talk to interesting people about great books! She is eager to hear what folks are reading and to share her own book recommendations.
Jeanie likes to hike the woods of Vermont with her dog Charlie, bike all over Burlington, and is always in search of a well-brewed cup of tea and a good book.
