The Reality

The Gap Is Real.

Students are falling behind and families are navigating a complex education system without a guide. That is exactly what Soaring Scholars was built to fix.

40%

of students began the 2024-25 school year below grade level (National Center for Education Statistics, 2024, para. 1)

52%

in high-poverty communities started the year below grade level (National Center for Education Statistics, 2024, para. 1)

4.8

additional months of math instruction students now need just to recover (Sparks, 2024, para. 3)

Instructional Leader. Advocate. Educator.

Janelle Jenkins · Founder & Lead Consultant

My Story

Education. Advocacy. Mentoring.

I am an instructional leader, researcher, and educator with over 10 years in K-12 education across Texas and Kentucky. My work sits at the intersection of curriculum implementation, instructional coaching, and community advocacy. I built Soaring Scholars because I have seen firsthand what happens when teachers, families, and students are left without the right support, and I decided to do something about it.

As an Instructional Facilitator, I have coached 300+ teachers, supported principals in building observation and feedback systems, and partnered with TEA on the Strong Foundations Grant. I led a low-performing campus turnaround through intentional math instruction and have spoken at Region 4, Region UNT Dallas, and a principal cohort at UNT Dallas on STEM and instructional leadership.

I am currently pursuing my doctoral degree at Dallas Baptist University, where my research examines how professional virtue drives implementation fidelity in turnaround schools. I graduated from the University of Louisville, where I was a Division I volleyball player and a member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Competition, faith, and discipline shaped who I am as a leader.

I am focused on three things: education, advocacy, and mentoring. Period. Soaring Scholars is where all three come together for the communities that need it most.

For Educators

Teaching is Hard Enough.
You Deserve Real Support.

High-quality instructional materials should not feel like a burden. Soaring Scholars helps you understand, implement, and own your curriculum with confidence.

The Teacher Reality

You Were Handed Materials. Not Mastery.

Research-based curriculum is only as powerful as the teacher who delivers it. Too many educators are handed high-quality instructional materials with no real coaching, no systems, and no support.

  • New curriculum rolled out with little to no training or follow-up
  • No structured coaching to bridge the gap between the guide and your classroom
  • Observation feedback that does not connect to what you are actually teaching
  • Students falling behind while you try to figure out what fidelity even means

What Soaring Scholars Provides

A needs assessment to identify exactly where you are struggling with your HQIM

Curriculum unpacking workshops so the materials actually make sense

Coaching frameworks that connect observation feedback to classroom practice

Connection to a network of instructional coaches and educators across Texas

Data-driven tools to track student progress and implementation fidelity
