Kristen Jones currently serves as the Curriculum Director for Enid Public Schools in Enid, Oklahoma. She has a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Harding University and a masters in Teaching, Learning, and Leadership with Reading Specialist certification from Oklahoma State University. She is currently pursuing an MBA in Educational Leadership from Oklahoma Christian University. Kristen first became a LETRS trainer in 2013 and has continued training teachers throughout the last 8 years. Throughout her career, she’s had experience as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, site level instructional coach, district level instructional coach, and has served as Curriculum Director for the last two years. “I loved to read as a kid and I still read for pleasure when I have the time. That early love of reading set me up for a career helping others on their own reading journey,” said Kristen.
