ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Nicole Jansen and I am very excited to start my fifth year at Issaquah High School. Previously, I taught Social Studies and Leadership at Chief Leschi High School for two years in Puyallup,Washington.

I believe that education in the 21st century should focus on exploration, questioning and learning new skills. I thrive on my students’ curiosity and take great pride in watching them grow and evolve. If you want to learn more about my classes and my methodology, my door is always open.
